Asahi Kasei has decided to relocate its Head Office from Kanda Jinbocho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan, to a new building currently under construction in Yurakucho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan, during the first half of fiscal 2018, as described below.

Asahi Kasei’s Head Office had been located in Yurakucho from 1950 until 2008, when it was changed to the current location in Kanda Jinbocho due to redevelopment of the area of the previous location in Yurakucho. The decision to return the Head Office location to Yurakucho was made as construction work in the area being redeveloped is nearing completion, with consideration for the optimal Head Office function and long-term outlook.

The Head Offices of all core operating companies, subsidiaries, and affiliates of Asahi Kasei currently located in Kanda Jinbocho will also be relocated to Yurakucho at the same time.
