Regulatory News:
Arkema (Paris:AKE) announces the start-up of a new
world-scale industrial adhesives plant in Japan. Those new
capacities will enable Bostik to serve its Japanese customers in
the continuously growing markets of diapers, hygiene, packaging,
labelling, transportation and electronics. This investment is in
line with Bostik’s growth and geographical expansion
strategy.
Bostik, the Adhesive Solutions segment of Arkema, continues the
development of its industrial adhesives business and announces the
start-up of a new plant in Nara, Japan, within the Bostik-Nitta JV,
80% owned by the Group.
This new facility includes several production lines dedicated,
on the one hand, to adhesives for the non-woven industry (diapers
and hygiene) and, on the other hand, to the industrial markets of
packaging, labelling, transportation and electronics. It will
enable Bostik to support the strong growth of its customers in the
disposable hygiene sector in Japan and to expand the manufacturing
of certain industrial adhesives ranges in Asia.
This investment represents a new step in the geographical
strengthening of Bostik, remaining close to its customers, and
confirms its commitment to developing innovative and sustainable
products at the highest level of quality and performance.
“We are very pleased with the successful start-up of this new
plant, the first one in Japan for Bostik. The geographical
expansion of our production capacity to support the growth of our
customers is a core part of our strategy to become a leading global
player” stated Vincent Legros, Executive Vice President,
Bostik.
”This local presence combined with our global expertise in
adhesives will allow us to become more responsive and improve
customer intimacy in the Asian region, thereby meeting their
specific needs in some of the most demanding sectors in terms of
both quality and innovation” said Motoki Ohno, Head of Bostik-Nitta
JV.
This investment is in line with the Arkema’s roadmap to become a
pure Specialty Materials player by 2024, centered around Adhesive
Solutions, Advanced Materials, and Coating Solutions.
Building on its unique set of expertise in materials science,
Arkema offers a portfolio of first-class technologies to

Materials, the Group is structured into 3 complementary, resilient
and highly innovative segments dedicated to Specialty Materials
-Adhesive solutions, Advanced Materials, and Coating Solutions-
accounting for some 80% of Group sales, and a well-positioned and
competitive Intermediates segment. Arkema offers cutting-edge
technological solutions to meet the challenges of, among other
things, new energies, access to water, recycling, urbanization and
