Polymer technology forms the core of Unitika’ s business opera-tions. These are largely divided into three areas; f ilms, plastics and nonwoven fabrics. While con-tinuing to strengthen our global marketing activit ies, Unit ika is enhancing the synergy between its respective business areas and par tner companies to take our polymer technologies global.

The market for f iber and textile products is seeing a shift, moving from Asia to countries in the west. While working to enhance collab-oration with Unitika Trading, one of our Group companies, in addi-t ion to c lothing and industr ial materials, we are also looking to the manufacture and sale of final products and expanding our over-seas production facilities with a view to further global expansion.

Our advanced materials include act ivated carbon f ibers, glass fiber & fabrics and glass beads. Due to the proper ties and high potential of these materials, they are found in a range of n iche app l i c a t i ons . W i th a v iew to expanding this business domain, Unitika is channeling its energy into developing tailor-made prod-ucts to address a range of product requirements and applications.
