Toray Industries, Inc. is a publicly traded Japanese firm with an eighty year history of technological excellence and community involvement. Originally founded as a manufacturer of Rayon (artificial silk) fibers in 1926, Toray has grown into one of the largest corporations in Japan and has expanded into many different fields of manufacturing and research. Toray has been producing commercially available water treatment membranes since the late 1970’s and today is one of the largest manufacturers of membrane based water treatment products. What began as a small research project has expanded into an undeniably important and strategically critical aspect of Toray’s future. That is why, in early 2006, Toray established Toray Membrane USA, Inc. (TMUS) as a corporate strategic business base. TMUS will oversee Toray’s largest RO membrane-element production facility as well as the sale of all products in the Americas (including MBR, MF/UF, Dairy, and any other water treatment products that Toray develops). In addition, TMUS will serve as a home office for key members of the water treatment division’s upper management. Toray’s US production facility has been designed to be the most advanced automated facility in the history of the reverse osmosis industry. Customers and end-users will benefit from dramatically increased production capacity (approximately 200,000 pieces per year) as well as improvements in both quality and service.
