Asahi Kasei Celebrates Centennial and Releases Next Generation Concept Car “AKXY2” - Seite 3

Asahi Kasei has been Creating for Tomorrow over the past 100 years, and both internal and external collaboration has been a key element of growth. “One of Asahi Kasei’s greatest strengths is without question the ability to draw from our diverse product portfolio across multiple group companies and collaborate with outside start-ups to create new concepts, such as smart fabrics,” says Mike Franchy, Director of North American Mobility at Asahi Kasei America. “AKXY2 showcases our expertise as a trusted partner to OEMs and Tier-1s for both interior and exterior components and technology. It’s hard to believe that this all started 100 years ago with basic textiles from synthetic cellulose, like Rayon. We’ve come a long way since then, and I’m looking forward to seeing these contributions continue to shape the automotive industry.”

AKXY2 can be experienced at trade shows around the world in 2022

- Detroit Auto Show: September 2022
- K 2022: October 2022, Düsseldorf, Germany
