Aida Chemical Industries Co., Ltd., (Art Clay) established in 1963, has a rich history rooted in the recycling and refining of precious metals.  Initially focusing on extracting silver from photographic waste, the company expanded its expertise to encompass a broader range of precious metal recovery processes.

In 1991, Aida's Research and Development team secured a patent for a novel manufacturing process that led to the creation of metal clay, subsequently branded as Art Clay.  This innovation allowed artisans and hobbyists to mold and shape precious metals like silver and gold with the ease of traditional clay.

By April 1994, Art Clay Silver and Gold were officially introduced to the Japanese market, marking a significant milestone in accessible jewelry-making materials.  The product line has since expanded to include various forms and formulations, such as Art Clay Silver 650 series, Art Clay Gold Paste, and Art Clay Copper, catering to diverse artistic needs. 

Today, Art Clay products are distributed in over 47 countries, reflecting their global appeal and the company's commitment to fostering creativity through innovative materials.  Aida Chemical Industries continues to prioritize environmental sustainability by utilizing 100% recycled silver in its Art Clay products, aligning with its longstanding dedication to eco-friendly practices.
