The large mass-production and research complex
for P-Flex® AMC Nagoya
Having raised a total of JPY 1.8 billion in October 2019 and established a large mass-production and research complex within the Nagoya factory rented from Mitsui Chemicals Co., Ltd. since July 2020, we started production and shipment of mass-produced products in April 2021.As for production capacity, the monthly production capacity will be 5,000m² in 2021 and we will expand our equipment to secure a monthly production capacity of 20,000m² in 2024. The maximum capital investment amount including this expansion is expected to be JPY 1.4 billion.
With the realization of the world's first large-scale mass production of inkjet-printed electronic circuits and the provisions of inkjet printing technologies by Seiko Epson Corporation and of the factory building and mass-production know-how by Mitsui Chemicals Co., Ltd., we aim to utilize the strengths of large corporations to break down the barriers to mass-production faced by startups.
