JAPAN: Fibre Firm To Produce Spandex In China
Japan's Asahi Kasei Corp said on Thursday it intends to make spandex, a fibre used in swimsuits, in China in order to cope with growing demand from that country's market. The company plans to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hangzehou, Zhejiang Province next month as it becomes the first Japanese firm to produce spandex in China.
