Asahi Kasei has the right chemistry for Japanese markets, so right in fact that it is among Japan's Top 3 chemical companies (with Sumitomo and Mitsubishi). The diversified company operates in six segments. Its chemicals (basic chemicals, plastics, fertilizers) and homes (prefabricated homes) units together account for about three-quarters of Asahi Kasei's sales. The company's fibers unit makes nylon, and its construction materials division makes concrete panels and artificial fish reefs. Asahi Kasei also makes electronic materials and medical products. Roughly two-thirds of its sales are in Japan, though the country hosts substantially all -- more than 90% -- of its assets. To read the full description, subscribe now.

Competitive Landscape for Asahi Kasei Corporation
Because chemicals are used to make a wide variety of industrial and consumer products, demand is driven by the overall health of the US economy. The profitability of individual companies is closely tied to efficient operations. Big companies have large economies of scale in production. Small companies can compete effectively by producing specialty products, of which there are a large number, or by operating a single plant highly efficiently. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is more than $900,000. To read the full description, subscribe now.
