In India, a country that is emerging as a mobile manufacturing hub, Asahi Glass Co. is looking to tap growing demand for advanced glass products to be used in smartphones and other electronic devices, according to company officials.
The leading maker of glass and high-tech materials, known as AGC, is planning to sell its cutting-edge products to India-based manufacturers of electronic devices, the officials said.
Among the products it hopes to sell are its Dragontrail glass — lightweight, flexible and scratch-resistant glass used as a protective cover for smartphones, tablet computers and ultra-books — and others used in phone cameras, the officials said.
