AGC

Nurtured and handed down for over 110 years, our founding spirit remains the driving force for value creation by AGC.

Our founding spirit is a set of values discovered by our founder, Toshiya Iwasaki, through the challenges and setbacks that he faced as he struggled to establish Japan’s first flat glass manufacturing business.

AGC has met and overcome many difficulties during its long history. Each of these challenges has resulted in further growth.

These founding values have been nurtured and handed down for over 110 years and remain the source of AGC’s approach to manufacturing.

Our brand statement, “Your Dreams, Our Challenge”,
was created as a core focus for communication by the AGC Group.

Never take the easy way out, but confront difficulties
Trust is the best way to inspire people
Strive to develop technologies that will change the world
A sense of mission leads us to advance

For more than a century,
AGC has been guided by these founding spirits.
Our unique materials,
solutions and reliable partnerships have facilitated leading innovations
across diverse industries and markets.

Today, by working with others to combine knowledge and advanced technology,
we help make ever greater achievements possible, and bring bolder ideas to life.
