Advanced Equipment and
Manufacturing System to Meet Global Needs

We have multifunctional manufacturing equipment that supports precision processing, enabling us to handle a wide range of coatings and processing for various electronic components and precision instruments. The equipment is capable of meeting the requirements for clean environments, high-temperature processing, multi-layer structures, and high heat resistance. By enhancing both productivity and quality, we cater to diverse domestic and international needs. Additionally, we are committed to building sustainable production practices by introducing environmentally friendly equipment.

01

Multi-headed coater Multi-headed coater

A high-performance device capable of applying multiple layers of ink simultaneously, which is essential for manufacturing thermal transfer ribbons. With a maximum of five layers of coating, this machine enables a more efficient and faster production compared to traditional methods. It can process films at a speed of up to 500 meters per minute, preventing production stagnation. By combining wax-based and resin-based ink layers, the machine is also able to realize products with multiple functions and high durability.

02

Clean Coater Clean Coater

This equipment is adapted even for precision electronic component coatings and operates in a cleanroom environment free from dust and contaminants. It is especially suitable for handling delicate materials such as metal foils. Equipped with a drying oven that can handle temperatures up to 200°C, it is also ideal for components requiring heat resistance. Two coating methods, small-diameter gravure and knife coating, enable flexible application from thin to thick coatings, ensuring high-quality, diverse product processing.

03

Roll-to-Roll
High Temperature Heating Device
Roll-to-Roll
High Temperature Heating Device

This device enhances the durability and heat resistance of coated films including resin and metal foils, which are components of the products that need to be heat resistant, by baking. Processing can be performed in a nitrogen atmosphere, preventing oxidation during baking. It can also handle double-sided coatings by adjusting the transport method, ensuring uniform treatment without contact with guide rolls. Like the Clean Coater, it operates in a cleanroom environment, making it ideal for electronic materials.

04

Slitter Slitter

This equipment slits thermal transfer ribbons and other materials to customer-specified widths, with a minimum width of 6mm. It provides ribbon widths suitable for various printers, enabling customized products to meet client needs. Additionally, a high-precision camera detection system mounted in the slitting process automatically identifies and removes coating defects, ensuring high-quality product supply and precise slitting.

A Global Production System for
High-Quality Product Supply

Our main production facilities are located in Japan, Malaysia, and China, ensuring a globally connected supply chain. With the Shiga Factory as our mother plant, our Malaysia and China factories maintain Japanese quality standards in their manufacturing processes. We are also committed to environmental sustainability by implementing solvent recycling systems and building sustainable production practices.

ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 Certified
We are dedicated to environmentally conscious manufacturing.

We make products that can be used without worry based on a fundamental policy of "Reliable Quality" and "Harmony with the Environment." We believe environmental conservation is a key social responsibility, and we prioritize the increasing of safety and reliability across both domestic and international production sites.

Our mother plant serves as the central hub for production management and product development across all locations. Every product is meticulously controlled under Japan's strict quality standards, ensuring stable and high-quality manufacturing. To minimize VOC emissions from the plant, we have introduced combustion treatment equipment and solvent recovery and refining systems, actively engaging in environmental protection. These environmentally conscious additions enhance the overall sustainability of our production processes and function as a part of the foundation of manufacturing for the future.
