Asahi Kasei Corporation - Asahi Kasei Kogyo

Japanese: 旭化成工業[株] - あさひかせいこうぎょう
Asahi Kasei Corporation - Asahi Kasei Kogyo
A comprehensive chemical company that grew from a textile manufacturer. Headquartered in Kita-ku, Osaka, with its main factory in Nobeoka. It began when Noguchi Jun of Nippon Chisso Fertilizer (now Chisso) established Asahi Silk Weaving Co., Ltd., which produced viscose rayon, in May 1922. Noguchi also introduced the Italian Casale method of ammonia synthesis to build the Nobeoka Ammonia Plant of Nippon Chisso Fertilizer Co., Ltd., which successfully completed a trial run in 1948. In 1954, using technology from Germany's Bemberg, Nippon Bemberg Silk Thread Co., Ltd. was established to manufacture cuprammonium silk thread, and a factory was built adjacent to the Nobeoka Plant (with the aim of using the ammonia from the plant as a raw material), with production commencing in 1956.
