Asahi Kasei EMD Corp.
Asahi-Schwebel Co., Ltd.
Asahi Kasei Electronics Co., Ltd.
Asahi Kase Microsystems Co., Ltd. |
Organizational realignment of electronics operations
|
|
Effective April 1, 2007, the research, development, marketing,
and sales functions of Asahi Kasei EMD's wholly owned subsidiaries Asahi-Schwebel
(AS), Asahi Kasei Electronics (AKE), and Asahi Kasei Microsystems (AKM) will be
transferred to Asahi Kasei EMD (AKEMD).
The seamless integration of these functions under unified management will enable
swifter, more market-oriented product development and closer, more precise response
to customer needs for quality and performance throughout each segment of the market
for electronic materials and electronic devices. AS, AKE,
and AKM will continue to perform production of their respective product lines as
subsidiaries of AKEMD.
The electronics business sector is marked for strategic expansion in the Asahi
Kasei Group's Growth Action – 2010 business plan. In electronic materials,
established businesses are being expanded with higher added value and
development of new applications. In electronic devices, the mixed-signal
LSI business is being expanded and the sensor/LSI hybrid device business
is being developed and advanced. The reorganization announced today will
facilitate these developments as AKEMD performs a key role in effecting growth
for the Asahi Kasei Group.
