JSR seeks alliances

By Patrick Raleigh, ERJ On-line news editor

Tokyo-JSR Corp. is seeking new alliances for its elastomers business under a new mid-term business plan, which will further reduce the group's focus on its former core business.

The plan, titled JSRevolution II, will continue a trend which has seen elastomers sales fall to a third of JSR's turnover last year from over 40 percent just four year ago.
