Asahi Glass Company shatters the conventional image of glassmakers. The world's #1 maker of flat glass also claims the top spot in automotive glass, plasma display panel substrates, and fluorinated resins. Glass for construction, automotive, and other applications account for half of Asahi Glass' overall sales. The company's Electronics and Display division makes high-purity silicon carbide and synthetic quartz glass for semiconductors and glass substrates for LCDs, while its Chemicals unit manufactures soda ash, caustic soda, and other specialty chemicals. Subsidiaries include US-based AGC America and French glassmaker Glaverbel.
