The company has origins in and is affiliated with Sekisui Chemical, which once was a major chemical firm, but has since diversified due to Asian competition; they supply medical diagnostic lab equipment and manufacture pharmaceuticals worldwide. The chemical firm has over 100 subsidiaries and affiliates.
