Energy, vitality, know-how, and creativity have brought advances that make AKM the leader in key communications and multimedia IC technologies.
AKM has become a world leader in two key technologies for communications and multimedia -- digital-analog mixing and ASIC DSP -- by early perception of the technological needs at the leading edge and rapid development of systems of high added value that effectively anticipate these needs. Development work is unrestrained by conventional methods or boundaries. AKM seeks and works closely in technological alliance with leading experts and organizations at home and abroad. Its engineers participate globally in leading scientific and technological symposia. It incorporates the most advanced process and development equipment and systems available, from around the world, to provide ICs that meet the emerging needs. It is a corporation focused on the future, and united in its purpose.
In Conceptualization, know-how, and innovation emerging from the stimulus and synthesis of knowledge and experience in many fields.
The Asahi Kasei Group, with fields of business ranging from basic chemicals to pharmaceuticals and from polymers and apparel to luxury homes, is recognized in each field for its distinctive approach to business and operations and its tradition of original research, development, and innovation -- often leading to concepts and technologies that overturn the parameters of conventional wisdom. AKM, ever since its inception, stands out even among the members of this group, for bold planning and flexible operation that break the conventional mold, and for its strength in high-level technologies and their synthesis.
