Daikin-R/M Ltd. plant at Chitose, Hokkaido

In January 1976, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that Daikin-R/M Ltd. had built "A 20,000-square-foot plant" at Chitose City on the northern island of Hokkaido, Japan, "equipped to make transmission friction products for use in passenger cars, earthmoving equipment and farm tractors."2 In April 1977, Raybestos-Manhattan reported in the same journal that the plant, run as a joint venture, was "producing automatic transmission friction discs for original equipment makers of automotive and industrial equipment."1 Neither item says whether these products contained asbestos.1,2
