PROFILE |
 |
Asahi Chemical Industry has the right chemistry for Japanese markets. The diversified company operates in four segments. Its chemicals and plastics segment (basic chemicals, fertilizers) and housing and construction materials unit (autoclaved lightweight concrete; residential construction and land development) each account for about a third of sales. Asahi Chemical's fibers and textiles operation, Japan's largest rayon maker, will stop rayon production in 2001; the company is developing new synthetic fibers. The company's special products segment makes items ranging from drinks (sake, premixed cocktails) to electronics and medical products. Over 85% of Asahi Chemical's sales are in Japan.
