The consolidation in Novi streamlines processes, leverages existing resources, and enhances Asahi Kasei’s ability to provide exceptional services to its partners. By bringing key leadership and operations together in a single 14,403-square-foot location, Asahi Kasei is poised to foster greater collaboration with the regional business units.

Asahi Kasei’s journey in America began in New York in 1959, where it established its initial operations. Recognizing the strategic importance of the Midwest, particularly its proximity to major OEMs in the automotive sector, Asahi Kasei America opened an office in Novi, Michigan, in 2019. Following a significant expansion of the Novi facility in 2023, Asahi Kasei is now ready to centralize its North American headquarters in this location.

“Transitioning our headquarters to Novi represents more than an address change. This move will empower us for future growth, as we’ll be better situated in the center of the country to reach our growing client base in the Material, Homes, and Health Care sectors nationwide,” said Takuma Miura, President of Asahi Kasei America. “Our headquarters in Novi will be a place for creativity, a launchpad for groundbreaking ideas, and a single home where we will continue to focus on delivering for our partners.”

The Novi headquarters has been thoughtfully designed to showcase Asahi Kasei’s technological prowess and commitment to innovation across key industries. It will function as a hub for enhanced administrative services across sectors for various departments, including communications, human resources, auditing, corporate planning, and finance.
