We contribute to life and living for people around the world through our distinctive combinations of diversity and specialty

Asahi Kasei Group has always addressed issues facing society based on its Group Mission of contributing to life and living for people around the world. After our founding in 1922 we advanced our core technology based on chemistry to extend operations in housing, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices. With our current three business sectors of Healthcare, Homes, and Material, we are a globally distinctive enterprise group that continually creates innovative products, services, and business models.

Our strength lies in combining diversity and specialty. Having a diverse range of operations gives us ample opportunities for the growth of both our businesses and our people, while providing stability. High added value is created by refining technologies and strategies in advantageous areas. We have also produced innovations for the world including the basic structure of the lithium-ion battery which has become indispensable in our daily lives, technology to produce plastic from carbon dioxide, safe and secure long-life homes, and filters that help ensure safety in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

The world is constantly changing, and issues such as carbon neutrality and healthy longevity remain unresolved. Though Asahi Kasei Group’s operations and way of doing business may change, we will never waver in our commitment to contributing to mankind, consistent since our founding. Moving forward we will firmly advance together with colleagues around the world to bring about further innovations that the world yearns for.
