R&D
Company
A sincere commitment to meet customer demands and
future challenges
R&D activities are carried out in the Development Dept. and Planning office of the Headquarters.
Development Dept. conducts basic research on materials and blending
in order to meet specifications required by customers.
Planning Office has initiative to proactively develop technologies
and new businesses to meet future customer needs.
The basis of R&D activities are ""insatiable curiosity"".
We strive to identify the essence of the product,
not being satisfied with the status quo and we are inspired to take on new challenges.
Quality evaluation / testing
Evaluation Analysis / testing equipment indispensable
for quality confirmation and R&D
We have introduced various equipment for testing and analysis and
are checking and evaluating product quality leveraging the insight of researchers as well as
understanding the performance of developed products.
In addition, we have developed many devices/equipment in-house
with ingenuity for items that cannot be evaluated with commercially available analysis equipment.
We strive to provide data and product information that will satisfy our customers.
