Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
We established a technology for generating good electrostatic discharge (ESD) waveforms after years of dedicated R&D and improvement in the field of measuring instruments for semiconductor assessment. Our ESD damage automatic measuring instrument and analyzer devices developed through this technology have a solid position in the domestic market. We also utilize hardware and software technologies we accumulated during R&D in the development, design, and production of OEM electronic products. 

[Business description]
Our company develops, manufactures, and sells measuring instruments for evaluating semiconductors (ESD testers). We also engage in OEM business such as print substrate assembly, and new businesses where we can apply our technologies to various fields.

Manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
The integration and accompanying downsizing of semiconductor elements are advancing. However, the semiconductor devices themselves are weaker, which makes it necessary to prepare measures to prevent surges due to electrostatic discharge. It is critical to ensure the reliability of performance and quality evaluations to take semiconductor elements to the market with peace of mind. This is why we expect that demands for our semiconductor assessment measuring instruments and analyzers will become stronger in the years to come. 

[Representative's message]
We hope to contribute to industries where static electricity has become an issue (e.g., paper, film, paint, and other industries) by supplying useful products and technologies. We will do this by utilizing the know-how and technologies that we have accumulated through our measuring instrument business centering on semiconductor parts and devices.
We also hope to transmit our technology to the world. We have grown our technology to a world-class level in the Japanese market, and it will be useful to manufacturers in other regions. 

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
The general affairs department has a sales representative in charge of new clients as a point of contact for inquiries from major enterprises and overseas companies. Staff in the development and technical departments accompany the sales representative for technical enquiries and solve problems on-site as required. The president oversees responses to new customers to ensure that all business transactions including information gathering and management are conducted faithfully.

[Market share/Ranking]
70% of the domestic ESD tester market (automatic measuring instruments for semiconductor assessment).
