This July, Asahi Kasei Asaclean Americas Inc. (Parsippany, NJ) is proud to celebrate its twentieth anniversary of becoming the official manufacturer & distributor ofAsaclean® Purging Compounds for both North & South America. SPI began as a small subsidiary of the Japan-based corporation Asahi Kasei, and achieved two decades of great innovation and steady growth. Since its humble beginnings, Asahi Kasei Asaclean Americas Inc. quickly grew Asaclean™ into the #1 best-selling purging compound in its territory —a distinction they continue to hold after more than a decade in the top spot.
“It’s been a remarkable twenty years, but what’s most exciting is that we truly believe that our best days are still ahead of us,” said President Glenn J. Kornfeld. “We have some truly innovative technological advances in the works, and I’m eager to show our value in some industries we haven’t focused on in the past.” Kornfeld joined the company 20 years ago just as it was starting, and has been instrumental to Sun Plastech, Inc.’s success ever since. In 2015, SPI acquired the Connecticut-based Novachem which dramatically expanded Asaclean®’s reach. “We’ve come a long way” V.P. Joseph Serell added, “but with our recent addition of Novachem & an enriched focus on new product development, we truly feel like a 20-year-old start-up.”
