Asahi Glass Company Description
Asahi Glass Company shatters the conventional view of glassmakers. The world's #1 maker of flat glass, it also claims the #1 position in automotive glass, plasma display panel substrates, and fluorinated resins. Glass for construction, automotive, and other applications accounts for half of Asahi Glass' overall sales. The company's Electronics and Display division makes high-purity silicon carbide and synthetic quartz glass for semiconductors and glass substrates for LCDs, while its Chemicals unit manufactures soda ash, caustic soda, and other specialty chemicals. Subsidiaries include US-based AGC America and Belgian glassmaker Glaverbel.
