Ahh lest they forget Mr. Tadashi Yamashita. Mr. Yamashita was responsible for sales & marketing of Separator and Electrolyte solution of Lithium-ion batteries and energy related materials. - In 2001, he became President of Conoco Carbon Fibers (Japan) which was a subsidiary of ConocoPhillips. In this assignment, he was responsible for developing and implementing strategy for growing Conocoâ s new carbon fiber product portfolio, sales of this product in Asia and extending the company' s carbon capabilities.

It is my belief AE was summoned to Japan a couple of months back partly because of Mr. Tadashi Yamashita's work marketing ZEN in Asia.
