JSR Corporation is a Japan-based materials and life sciences company that develops and supplies advanced products for the semiconductor, display, and biopharmaceutical industries. The company originated as Japan Synthetic Rubber Co., Ltd., established in 1957, and adopted the JSR name in 1997 as its business expanded beyond synthetic rubber.
JSR’s semiconductor materials portfolio includes photoresists, lithography-related materials, process chemicals, and other products used in chip manufacturing. The company also provides materials for flat-panel displays and has developed specialty polymers, resins, and other performance materials for industrial and electronic applications.
Through its life sciences operations, JSR provides biopharmaceutical development and manufacturing services, including technologies and services supporting biologic medicines, cell and gene therapies, and related research. The company serves customers internationally through operations and partnerships across Japan, North America, Europe, and other major technology and pharmaceutical markets.
In 2024, JSR became a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan Investment Corporation following a public tender offer. Its shares have historically been listed in Japan, while its American depositary receipts have traded in the United States over the counter under the symbol JSCPY.
