Asahi/America Inc ("Asahi") is a diversified ISO9001 certified manufacturer and distributor of corrosion-resistant fluid flow products. These include a wide variety of thermoplastic valves, actuators, flow meters, tubing systems, and single and double containment piping systems. These products are used for the control, transmission, and containment of corrosive fluids and high-purity liquids, certain flammable gases, and compressed air.
Asahi helped pioneer the market for thermoplastic valves in the United States and Latin America, during a time when there was no viable alternative to metal for piping systems. Asahi began by distributing valves and piping products from a Japanese company known as Asahi Organic Chemical Company ("AOC"). Through increased distributor and end user education and experience, thermoplastics have grown steadily in acceptance. While Asahi still imports a number of products from AOC, the actuators, flow meters, and certain valves are currently manufactured at the 100,000 square foot headquarters in Malden, Massachusetts.
