Daikin America is dedicated to a corporate tradition of building long-term relationships with our customers and communities. Our parent company, Daikin Industries, Ltd., dates from 1924 when it was founded in Osaka, Japan to manufacture heat exchanger components. Our involvement with chemicals began in 1933 when we initiated research in fluorocarbon refrigerants. Through decades of rapid growth, we have become Japan's top-ranking producer of fluorochemicals including fluoropolymers and fluoroelastomers.
