Asahi Kasei has transformed itself from a local company in Miyazaki Prefecture into a global conglomerate with annual sales exceeding 3 trillion yen by consistently developing products and technologies that dominate their markets or occupy niches with few direct rivals. The company operates across three main business areas: materials, housing and healthcare, with products ranging from household products like Saran Wrap and Ziploc to lithium-ion battery materials, Hebel Haus homes, condominiums, pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
Asahi Kasei's president, Koshiro Kudo, has emphasized a strategy of identifying businesses where the company can establish a clear competitive advantage, aiming to be overwhelmingly No. 1 in recognition while being one of a kind.
