The Construction Products Group has been spun off, and the Aronix group (UV-curable resins: acrylic products with special monomers and oligomers) has been integrated. By strengthening production across the whole acrylic chain from monomers (acrylic acids and acrylic esters) to acrylic polymers and Aronix, the goal is to further expand the acrylic products business. We intend not only to develop new products and manufacturing technologies, but also to create business models in new fields. Aggressive investments are earmarked for this area. In the monomer business, we are reviewing and overhauling existing business development models from the ground up, to further underpin our acrylic chain operations and to ensure steady profit flows. We are carrying out a far-reaching buildup of our businesses in the Asian region, adopting a strategy of selection and focus for the polymer business. In the Aronix business, in light of steadily growing demand in China and other Asian countries, we are creating technologies for new approaches to expansion of core marketing networks and to further boosting of profitability. Another focus is the electronics materials field, where new applications are increasing. There, we are building up the flat panel display business as a pillar of next-generation growth after the acrylic products segment. Given that Aronix already has the top share of the Asian market for UV-curable resins, we are considering further ramping up of production capacity in anticipation of further market growth.
