Sustainability

 

Management Philosophy

Our company’s guiding ethos since its founding, "Respecting and maintaining harmony" is based on our determination to embrace and harmonize with people and all things related to us. We shall continue to contribute to society while reducing our environmental impact by continuously working on technological innovation based on our management philosophy of "respecting the environment and respecting people.”

Environment

We will expand our R&D budget and promote technological development to advance the semiconductor, medical, and energy fields as they are indispensable to people‘s lives. In our production activities, we are always aware that we are working with limited resources, and we will continue our efforts to reduce the environmental burden on both the global and work environments.

Society

We will protect employment by providing a safe and clean working environment through various employment and welfare programs that are easy to work within, and promote the development of an environment that takes advantage of diversity and allows all employees to demonstrate their abilities.

Governance

We will strengthen our system for thorough training of managers in compliance, management skills, promote Business Continuity Plan (BCP) activities, and ensure compliance with quality standards, laws and regulations related to production activities and corrective measures.

To contribute to the formation of a sustainable, recycling-oriented society

Development of New Materials for the Future

In collaboration with High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) and Sunric Co., Ltd., we have developed a tungsten alloy that exhibits approximately four times the resistivity at room temperature and 1.3 to 1.5 times the resistivity at 1800°C compared to conventional materials. This breakthrough is expected to contribute to energy efficiency and cost reduction in electronic device manufacturing.

Cutting-Edge Technology Through the Fusion of Metal Processing Techniques

Through joint research with KEK, we have successfully developed a titanium alloy beam window for next-generation accelerators using metal additive manufacturing. This innovation enables:
Material reduction, minimizing waste.
Complex shapes tailored to application needs, ensuring excellent pressure resistance in beam window production.

Development of Advanced Technology Utilizing Accelerators

In collaboration with Nagoya University, we have developed mass production technology for lithium targets, a crucial component in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for cancer treatment. This lithium-based target is expected to be a viable alternative to beryllium targets, which require high beam energy for neutron generation.

Collaboration with Universities for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

As part of a practical training course at Tokyo Metropolitan University, we worked on a BtoC business proposal utilizing our core metal additive manufacturing technology to support the achievement of SDGs.
Since April 2020, we have participated in a program at Tokyo Metropolitan University, where students, as future engineers, work in groups on specific projects to cultivate autonomous learning and problem-solving skills.
