Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our company is a functional film manufacturer that develops, manufactures, processes, and sells adhesive sheets and other products. The combination of polymer technology and manufacturing technology enables us to develop new functional films for each customer’s request, and to provide comprehensive solutions. We particularly excel at small lot and niche development. This is why we can determine the optimal composition and shape for a customer’s needs and respond swiftly, even when it involves prototype manufacturing in small quantities.

[Business description]
Our company provides total solutions to cover all adhesive sheet and functional film operations, from development to manufacturing, and even from small lot production according to the customer’s needs. We respond to diverse customer requests by selecting a material suited to the purpose and use environment, and then creating a new functional film by using our original polymer technology.

[Representative's message]
Our company has been developing, manufacturing, and selling functional films mainly for light electrical appliances and home electronics appliances since our establishment. We are also expanding overseas on our own in response to the recent weakening of Japanese finished product manufacturers. We are focused on development oriented toward customer needs and niche product consulting, and our business remains stable. This year we established a development and sales department to accelerate overseas expansion and meet new demand emerging in Japan. We will continue to grow on a global scale by proposing new value to our customers. 

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We set up a development and sales department directly under the president as the point of contact for new customers, including major companies. The technology, production, and quality assurance departments are located on the same floor in our company. This is to ensure timely responses. Staff members from these departments also visit the customer when it is necessary to solve a problem. Our overseas customers are contacted by a person in charge or an expat in the country. For example, we have a Chinese person who speaks Japanese and Chinese for support in China, and a Japanese person in Taiwan. We also have a Korean person who speaks Japanese and Korean for support in Korea, and a Sri Lankan person who speaks Japanese and English for other regions. We intend to expand our global human resources even further. 

[Market share/Ranking]
The touch panel and LCD protection panel markets are so large and competitive that our actual ranking is not known to us. However, we aim to retain more than 70% of other new niche markets.
