Japan“s Asahi Glass is to further develop its high image quality recording medium operations. The company is soon to begin consignment production in the US, and increase its production capacity in Japan. The company plans to more than double its annual sales in the sector over the next five years, to Yen 5 billion. In 1992, Asahi Glass started sales of a high image quality recording medium that uses alumina. Sales have reached the level of Yen 2 billion a year, and the company is gradually increasing its production capacity 20-30% a year. Asahi will export coating materials from Japan and procure locally other materials that are required for consignment production in the US, which comprises half the world demand for colour printer media.
