Our Spirit : “Never take the easy way out, but confront difficulties.”
Toshiya Iwasaki, who founded Asahi Glass Company in 1907, summed up his mindset in those early days with the motto, “Never take the easy way out, but confront difficulties.” Much in evidence when our predecessors subsequently took on the ambitious goal of manufacturing
flat glass domestically, this mindset has been passed down through the generations to the present day and remains the driver of all of our business activities.
