Company Profile | Asahi Kasei Medical Co., Ltd.

Asahi Kasei Medical has achieved business growth by applying and developing the technological expertise of the Asahi Kasei Group in the fiber and chemical fields and leveraging the advantages of their hollow-fiber membrane, nonwoven fabric and biocompatible material technologies.
