Diversified Japanese materials company making aramid and carbon fibers, polyester films, and pharmaceuticals/home healthcare products.
Sells advanced fibres and composites to industrial customers such as carmakers and aircraft suppliers, and a healthcare division earns from prescription drugs and from renting home oxygen and sleep-apnea equipment to patients.
