Asahi Kasei Advance and Teijin Frontier will integrate their businesses through an absorption-type merger to achieve sustainable growth by combining their strengths in textiles and materials. The merger is scheduled to be effective on October 1, 2026, with Teijin Frontier as the surviving company.

The core purpose of the integration is to leverage the unique strengths of both companies for mutual benefit and market expansion.

The merger aims to create a stronger entity by combining the specialized knowledge, technologies, and material strengths in the textiles sector.

By merging their existing business platforms, sales networks, and customer bases, the new entity plans to expand its reach and respond more effectively to customer needs.

The integration is anticipated to lead to reduced procurement and operational costs through synergies.

The combined company will focus on providing solutions to global challenges, such as those related to environmental impact, as part of a broader commitment to sustainable corporate value and a carbon-neutral society.
