Asahi Kasei Fibers held a Grand Opening Ceremony for a new spunbond plant in Thailand. Since beginning its spunbond business in 1973, Asahi Kasei Fibers has supplied Eltas spunbond for use in a wide variety of applications.

The market for spunbond in Asia is now growing remarkably in the field of hygienic products such as disposable diapers. As part of its business expansion strategy, the company established Asahi Kasei Spunbond (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (AKST) to meet growing demand for spunbond for diaper applications in Asia through production in Thailand.

With production located in close proximity to market demand, AKST enables swift response to customer needs and stable supply to manufacturers of hygienic products from Japan and other countries that are expanding output in Asia.
