About Us

Leading the way in aluminum electrolytic capacitor technology
United Chemi-Con Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation, was established in the United States in 1970 and serves as the North American sales and support organization for our parent company. As a global leader in aluminum electrolytic capacitor technology, Nippon Chemi-Con is recognized as one of the world’s largest manufacturers and suppliers of aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
In addition to our capacitor portfolio, United Chemi-Con’s Solid & Functional Devices (SFD) division promotes a broad range of advanced electronic components, including coils and inductors, supercapacitors, MLCCs, and camera modules, supporting today’s evolving industrial, automotive, energy, and communications markets.
United Chemi-Con Inc. is headquartered in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, with a manufacturing operations in Lansing, North Carolina. Combined with our nationwide sales organization, customer service infrastructure, and field engineering support, this presence enables us to deliver responsive service and technical expertise to customers throughout North America.
To meet the rapidly changing demands of the electronics industry, Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation continuously develops and introduces innovative products and technologies. At the same time, our environmentally responsible and regulation-compliant policies are designed to minimize both our carbon footprint and that of our customers—supporting technological advancement while contributing to a more sustainable future.
In 1931, the first electrolytic capacitor was commercialized in Japan. That was the day that the history of Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation started and aluminum electrolytic capacitors begun its evolution. Our brand nurtured by our customers along with the development of electronic industry is always on the cutting edge, having won the largest share of the aluminum electrolytic capacitors market in the world. Well developed high performance product lines produced by the leading manufacturer will provide solutions best suited for various kinds of advanced equipments.
In order to make an ideal product, you need ideal materials. Nippon Chemi-Con’s product development starts with basic research of capacitor materials. It is a little-known fact that Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation leads the world in the production of aluminum electrode foil, which is the primary material determining the performance of capacitor, and provide other capacitor manufacturers as a supplier. One of the major characteristics of Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation is that we have outstanding capacity for research and development of capacitor materials that enables high quality and reliability of products.
