Mission
Making the world sustainable with new manufacturing technologies
The ever expanding world of electronics
The growth in number of connected devices
With the advancements in 5G, IoT, self-driving vehicles and robotics, it is quite possible that we are entering an era in which all things shall be loaded with electronics.
Resources on the verge of being depleted
The manufacturing industry worsening water shortage
The manufacturing industry worsening water shortage
Up till now, electronics has been an industry that uses vast amounts of water and metal resources, emitting great quantities of waste.In a world where 1.8 billion people are forecast to suffer from critical water shortage by 2025, it is hard to argue for the sustainability of the electronics industry as it stands now.
The future of electronics
Taking the example of printed circuit boards, the conventional manufacturing method was an extremely long process in which copper foil is manufactured, laminated with film (production of CCL), and laminated with photosensitive materials before the desired copper pattern is achieved by dissolving and discarding the copper foil from unnecessary parts by exposure, development and etching.
Our process achieves the desired copper pattern by printing the metal onto film and growing it, not only forgoing the need for copper foil manufacturing and CCL manufacturing processes but also eliminating the need for the etching process to dissolve and discard the copper foil.
After 4 years of R&D, we have succeeded in mass production
A unique technology that enables mass production
By combining various technologies,
we were able to raise our production to mass production level

A new paradigm for the manufacturing industry
Historically, the manufacturing industry has been transitioning from developed to developing countries
because it consumes a great deal of resources and energy,
emits a large amount of waste, and produces in great volumes.
Furthermore, if you take the example of the coastal areas of China,
the manufacturing industry is transitioning further inland
or to other countries as environmental regulations are rapidly becoming stricter.
However, we do not believe that
burdening 'cheaper' developing regions in such a manner is the right path for Japan to pursue.
Rather, we believe that it is Japan's role to develop resource
and energy saving technologies and to spread these to the world.
In order to pass on a sustainable world to the next generation,
please lend us your support.
