Mitsubishi Chemical to Transfer Lucite International Japan Shares

LIJ was established in 1993 as an acrylic composite production and sales base in Japan. The company operates in Namegata City, Ibaraki Prefecture, responding to domestic demand for acrylic composite material, which is used in applications such as bathtubs, kitchens and wash basins.
