About Us


The outstanding performance of Asahi Flexo Plate (AFP) products is the result of over 30 years of technological development in the field of photosensitive resins for flexo plate printing. The Imaging Products Division at Asahi Kasei traces its roots back to 1970, with the commercialization of APR liquid photopolymer resin. AFP soon followed, and our products are now widely used in Japan, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Latin America, with sales in North America growing.

Europe has been a vital market for these products for nearly 30 years, with sales and marketing performed by our subsidiary Asahi Photoproducts (Europe) n.v./s.a.

Technological development to advance product performance is ongoing, to meet the evolving and emerging needs of the flexo plate printing industry.
