Joint venture between Asahi Kasei Corp., Honda Canada will build Canada’s 1st lithium ion separator plant

Company executives are expected to join Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford, as well as federal Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Ontario’s economic development minister, Vic Fedeli, and municipal leaders at an official announcement on Tuesday.
