Asahi Kasei Chemicals Corp. March 6 announced a plan to build a plant to manufacture pharmaceutical media acetonitrile in Ulsan, Korea. The plant is scheduled to start operations in January 2014, producing 11,000 tons each year. Although Asahi has a domestic production site in Kawasaki with a capability of 14,000 tons, the company, affected by last year’s earthquake, hopes the new facility will diversify risks and ensure a stable supply.
