Asahi Kasei Planning Switch to Mainly Specialty Polyethylenes

摘要

Asahi Kasei Chemicals' president Kenji Fuji-wara has indicated that the company is likely to initiate a quantum leap up the value chain for its high-density polyethylene business and have specialty products constitute about 50% of its product slate, compared with an average of 20-30% for the domestic industry. "We'll switch to a business structure for our HDPE that is viable with the production of specialty products alone," he said.
