SITEMAP
The Bemberg story begins with its original conception and creation during the mid to late 19th century, and its first commercial production in Germany by the J. P. Bemberg company in 1897.
The production process technology developed by J. P. Bemberg was introduced into Japan in 1928 and brought to commercial production at the Asahi Kasei plant in Nobeoka City, Miyazaki Prefecture in 1931, thus marking the origins and early growth of Asahi Kasei itself and the ensuing growth and development of Asahi Kasei throughout the following decades.
These decades have been marked by constant refinement and continuing development at Asahi Kasei, in the production technology and the quality, functions, applications, and ecoefficiency of Bemberg fibers, which are also known generically as cupro.
Today Asahi Kasei is one of only two companies worldwide that produce cupro fibers. With its current production capacity of some 20,000 tons of Bemberg per year in filament and staple fiber, Asahi Kasei is the predominant global supplier, and the only company producing Bemberg in Japan.
Bemberg from Asahi Kasei is recognized the world over as a product of many decades of unmatched refinement, quality, and performance.
