Japan’s Toray Industries has agreed to pay $405 million for a 56% stake in Woongjin Chemical, a South Korean manufacturer of fibers, textiles, and water treatment filters. The purchase will be made by Toray’s South Korean subsidiary, which was a joint venture with Woongjin until 2010 when Toray bought out Woongjin’s stake.
