Showa Denko to Transfer its Phenolic Resin Business to Aica
TOKYO -- Showa Denko (SDK) (TOKYO:4004) concluded the final agreement with Aica Kogyo Company, Limited (Aica) (TOKYO & NAGOYA:4206) to transfer the phenolic resin business of SDK to Aica. Annual sales of the business were JPY 4 billion in 2014.
