Tokyo, Nov 1, 2009 (JCN) - Asahi Kasei Kuraray Medical has established a subsidiary in Korea for the sale of dialyzers and therapeutic apheresis devices, with operation beginning on November 2, 2009.
The new subsidiary, Asahi Kasei Medical Trading (Korea) Co., Ltd. (AMK), will obtain growing sales through the provision of enhanced service and support for customers in Korea.
