Asahi Kasei Homes has finalised an agreement to acquire 100% ownership of ODC Construction, a Florida-based subcontractor specialising in residential construction.
The acquisition, completed on 29 August 2024 through a US subsidiary, marks an expansion of Asahi Kasei Homes’ footprint in the North American market.
The financial details of the deal have not been disclosed.
The move aligns with Asahi Kasei Homes’ focus on strengthening its business of order-built unit homes in Japan while identifying North American and Australian operations as key for additional growth.
This strategy is encapsulated in the Asahi Kasei Group’s ’10 Growth Gears’, a component of its medium-term management plan themed ‘Be a Trailblazer.’
Synergos Companies, the holding company for Asahi Kasei Homes’ North American business, is set to enhance productivity and quality across manufacturing and construction sites.
