With a history dating back to 1896, the Toyo Ink Group today operates in 24 countries. The company is considered a leading manufacturer of chemicals for inks, pigments and resins.
In January 2024, its holding company, Toyo Ink SC Holdings Co., intends to rebrand and change its name to “artience” — a combination of art and science.

The Philippines has recorded annual gross domestic product growth of over 5% for the past decade, except for 2020, and that growth is expected to continue. Established in 1989, Toyo Ink Philippines will celebrate its 35th anniversary next year. The company manufactures and sells various printing inks for flexible packaging, paper containers, stickers and labels and has earned a strong reputation for providing quality-driven products and services.
“In order to contribute to the sustainable growth of the country, we will continue to fulfill our responsibilities as a chemical manufacturer by playing a role in the development and provision of advanced environmentally friendly products,” said Hiroyuki Ishii, managing director of Toyo Ink Philippines.
“We also provide customers with related machinery and technical services such as plastic colorants, coatings for surface and content protection, and raw coloring material such as pigments and synthetic resins.”
While the Philippines has the advantage of being one of the most well-connected countries in Southeast Asia, with English spoken across the country, issues such as the global elimination of plastics, the reduction of depleted resources and the reduction of carbon dioxide and other gases associated with global warming are a major challenge.
“We believe that our environmentally friendly products and services can continue to support the prosperity of the Filipino people,” Ishii said.
“We will continue to expand our products and services and in relation to color, we are introducing unique techniques and technologies such as our ‘color universal design’ in the Philippines.”
Toyo Ink Philippines Director Edwin Lucila said that despite the company’s achievements here, its mission remains unchanged.
“We have enjoyed tremendous success in the Philippines,” Lucila said. “Guided by innovation, our desire to never give up, and the Toyo Ink family values, we will continue to contribute to the welfare of people and create employee satisfaction while fulfilling our corporate social responsibilities and delivering high-quality products and industry-leading services for decades to come.”
