Unitika Ltd.

Unitika is a long-established textile company now restructuring its portfolio toward polymers and functional materials. Its key feature is a business mix centered on polymers, including nylon and polyester films and resins, and functional materials, including glass fiber, activated carbon fiber, and nonwoven fabrics, alongside restructuring that includes a policy to withdraw from the fibers and textiles business. Established in 1889, the company has shifted in recent years from its textile roots toward polymers and functional materials while pursuing management reform and business restructuring. It remains a long-established chemical-fiber manufacturer in transition. Its fiscal year ends in September.
