Global leaders in the manufacture of durable thermoplastic valves and pipeline systems for corrosive media

Since 1952, we have been the pioneers in this segment, setting new standards year by year through our brand: ASAHI AV. All the components of our products originate from our own production under the ASAHI YUKIZAI CORPORATION based in Tokyo, Japan. This guarantees a high-quality standard (ISO 9001) as well as exceptional flexibility and availability. Our knowledge of industrial applications (gained from over six decades of international experience) distinguishes us in particular. As part of its ambitious focus on global expansion, the ASAHI YUKIZAI CORPORATION saw that the African market had great potential to benefit from our thermoplastic valves and decided to buy out Celtech Pipe Systems – our South African distributor founded in 1992. After the absorption of this company in its entirety, the future of ASAHI YUKIZAI’S presence within Africa was born: ASAHI Africa. Established in 2019 as a subsidiary of the ASAHI YUKIZAI CORPORATION, ASAHI Africa has established relationships with many high-profile clients within South Africa such as Anglo Platinum, Columbus Stainless, Impala Platinum, Mondi, NCP Chlorchem, Sappi, Rand Refinery, Sasol, etc. Our continued business with these companies is a testament to
