PROFILE |
 |
Toho Rayon is stretching the reach of its fibers. The company specializes in the production of materials used in aerospace, aircraft, apparel, sports and recreation, and industrial products -- everything from high-fashion clothing to fishing rods, spacecraft, and pipes for offshore oil extraction. Toho's textile business (rayon, acrylic, and cotton) accounts for over half of sales, and carbon fiber products account for a third. The company's other businesses include environmental management equipment, polyurethane molding machinery, and commercial linen supply services. Leading polyester maker Teijin has acquired a 50.01% stake in Toho, an investment that will help the company expand its high-tech fiber business.
