Kuraray Co. Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Fumio Ito) has increased production capacity of its Kashima Plant (Kamisu City, Ibaraki Prefecture; General Manager: Ichiro Matsuzaki) in response to increased global demand for GENESTAR heat-resistant polyamide resin.
GENESTAR is currently used in auto parts, including fuel lines and intercooler tanks, as well as electrical and electronic components that include LED backlighting components.
