UNITIKA LTD.
 PROFILE
UNITIKA's textiles, resins, films, and plastics are used in everything from food packaging to athletic apparel. Its products include ELITEL (a polyester resin used in binders and coating materials), EMBLET (a polyester film used in food packaging), SOLAR-ALPHA (a heat-retaining material used in athletic apparel), and U-POLYMER (a polyarylate resin used in the production of plastics). The firm also makes trash incinerators and wastewater-treatment products and builds, sells, and manages UNILIFE condominiums. In an effort to restructure operations, UNITIKA has spun off its core textiles and fiber division into a subsidiary - Unitika Fiber. UNITIKA's expansion into biotechnology has centered on enzyme research.
