Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation has formulated APTSIS 15, a five-year management plan through fiscal 2015. This new initiative is designed to foster growth, innovation, and a leap ahead by orchestrating the Group' s strengths.
Through APTSIS 15, MCHC is committed to running its business in a way that delivers KAITEKI solutions by putting the infinite potential of 'Good Chemistry' to work. This plan will retain the decision criteria set in APTSIS 10 in the drive to create a portfolio of high-performance, high-value-added businesses, while sustainably increasing corporate value.
The new plan retains the growth, innovation, and leap ahead (M&A) strategies of APTSIS 10. The portfolio categories are next-generation growth business, growth business, cash-generating business, and business to be restructured.
