As the need for lightweight and high-performance products in the sports and leisure, aerospace, and hypercar sectors has increased in recent years, demand for carbon fiber for high-end applications has been steadily expanding.
Mitsubishi Chemical’s carbon fiber for high-end applications features outstanding strength and elastic modulus, meeting rigorous quality standards in high-end applications.
In response to such robust demand, Mitsubishi Chemical has decided to enhance its high-performance carbon fiber production capacity in its existing facilities in Japan and the United States. The company plans to have its phased enhancement from 2025 to 2027, with production capacity approximately doubling the current level when completed.
Going forward, Mitsubishi Chemical will continue to capture market growth, create and deliver value to its customers and, by focusing on high value-added businesses, pursue further profit growth.
