Asahi Kasei Hosts Events At Two Asian Flexo Houses Asahi Kasei Corporation, and its subsidiary Asa- hi Photoproducts, flexographic photopolymer plate developers, hosted two events in Asia during the month of December, one in Shanghai and one in Taiwan. The purpose of these events was to pres- ent customer successes in using Asahi flexographic platemaking solutions. Li Xiaocheng, founder and CEO of Shanghai Heng- ze Printing Company, invited peers to tour his plant in conjunction with Labelexpo Asia 2023. This label manufacturer is the first company to install Crystal- CleanConnect in China, an end-to-end automated flexographic platemaking solution co-developed by Asahi, ESKO and Kongsberg. CrystalCleanConnect is said to reduce flexo plate- making from 12 steps to one. The company had already adopted Asahi AWP- DEF water-washable plates. Hengze installed CrystalCleanConnect in 2022. During the event, which was attended by almost 30 companies, visitors were able to see Crystal- CleanConnect in action as well as experience pre- sentations by Asahi, Esko and Kongsberg
