Located in the Bay Port Industrial Complex, Kaneka Texas is at the core of the chemical manufacturing base in SE Texas. This provides ready access to all primary raw materials, a vast and well trained labor pool, and all major modes of transportation.

Environmental pollution and energy shortages are now of global concern. More interest is focusing on photovoltaic (PV) power generation, which can use an unlimited source of clean energy - the sun. Kaneka decided to begin research into thin film silicon PV modules at an early stage. This has allowed the company to assume a leading position in the industry over the past 20 years. Kaneka's accumulated expertise now makes it possible to offer next-generation energy all over the world through its advanced PV systems that empower individuals to take a proactive environmental role in their daily lives.
