Crystal Process in 3 Minutes
From car coatings to the future of all materials.
Crystal Process Co., Ltd. continues to evolve into a specialized company in "surface layer synthesis" that transcends industry boundaries, building upon the research and development capabilities cultivated through automotive coatings.
OUR ROOTSWe have built up the potential of coatings one step at a time.
Starting with the manufacturing of automotive coating agents, we have expanded our product line through our unique research and development capabilities. The accumulation of these technologies forms the foundation of our diverse business operations today.

-
1994-2000
Foundation and Origin
"We want to keep every single car beautiful." This desire sparked the development of our ceramic coating agents. Through our proprietary synthesis technology, the origin of the "protective layer" that protects surfaces from scratches and dirt was born.
-
2001-2007
Product Expansion and Incorporation
The products we developed grew to dozens of items, and our dealer network expanded across various regions. We established our structure as a joint-stock company, building an integrated system to handle everything from research to manufacturing in-house.

2012-2017
Evaluation of Technological Capabilities and Establishment of a Research Base
Our unique technologies were recognized through patents and external evaluations, transforming craftsman's skills into reliable science. By setting up a new base dedicated to research, we further enhanced our development capabilities.
2017
Relocated headquarters to the Hiroshima Central Science Park.
-
2021-Present
Evolution into a Surface Layer Synthesis Company
The objects we protect are no longer limited to cars. Metals, building materials, industrial products - our focus has shifted to the surfaces of all materials. We are expanding the strengths cultivated in car coatings into the new domain of "surface layer synthesis."
2024
Started our second founding period through a capital alliance (business succession) with Hiroshima Innovation Network Inc.
2026
Relocated the Technical Center to the headquarters and established an application research laboratory.
