Asahi Glass has the unique position as a pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediate producer with expertise in fluorine chemistry. It has expanded its service now to custom manufacturing. Fluorinated compounds are known to possess bioactivity often considered useful, and our more than fifteen years' experience in this area has furthered our technology base.

Not only do we provide various fluorine containing building blocks such as fluoroanilines or fluoro benzoic acids, but combined with other general reactions, such as hydrogenation, Friedel-Crafts reaction, bromination, nitration and Grignard reaction, we now have transformed ourselves to be a supplier of more advanced intermediates and bulk pharmaceuticals. Moreover, we also specialize in handling phosgene and in conducting low temperature reactions.

Asahi provides full production capabilities including GMP for custom manufacturing. Through production of various chemicals, we wish to establish a long lasting partnership where both our customer and ourselves continue to expand the relationship to support developmental activities.

The examples shown here are only a part of our manufacturing capabilities. We are happy to discuss more in detail to meet your specific needs. Please feel free to contact us by our 'CONTACT/MAIL' page in our Head Office, Asahi Glass Europe Amsterdam Office or AGA Chemicals California, USA Office. We also look very much forward to meeting you at one of our booths in major international specialty chemicals and pharmaceutical trade shows - Informex in the US, Chemspec Europe and CPhI Europe.

Antibacterial quinolones, Aldose-reductase inhibitors and Angiotensin II blockers use intermediates with common structures containing fluorine atoms and here Asahi has effectively served the industry to meet the demand.
