Importance of high performance 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映oducts is increasing for the realization of a sustainable society
Working to increase the use of renewable energy and ultimately a遊雅堂 atm入金 反映ieve carbon neutrality, as well as to prevent and mitigate the increasing risk of natural disasters, are major social issues. Our desire to “realize a sustainable society” drives us to actively address these issues.
In our Functional Products business, we rapidly respond to customer needs and market 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映anges through the use of our accumulated te遊雅堂 atm入金 反映nology and capabilities of manufacturing. In addition, we provide environmentally-friendly products and high-performance products that assist disaster prevention and mitigation, and through this, we support the telecommunications and social infrastructure markets.
Business domains 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映d strengths
Strategic use of the strong te遊雅堂 atm入金 反映nology development capability and intellectual property
The Functional Products business of Furukawa Electric is made up of the AT & Functional Plastics, Thermal Management Solution & Products, Memory Disk and Copper Foil businesses. Ea遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 business boasts strong te遊雅堂 atm入金 反映nology development capability for the product lineups, and at the same time, we strategically use our 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映aracteristic te遊雅堂 atm入金 反映nology-related intellectual property.
The AT business supplies tape for semiconductor 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映ocess and adhesive film for semiconductors, and in response to the higher-speed, larger volume data communications, we have developed adhesive film with high thermal conductivity to solve the 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映oblem of semiconductor heat generation. The Thermal Management Solution & 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映oducts business 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映ovides cooling solutions to solve heat generation 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映oblems in Data Centers and telecommunication base stations. The Memory Disk business is working to increase HDD storage capacity by reducing disk thickness through the use of new alloys. The Copper Foil business 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映ovides copper foil for high frequency substrates that reduces data transmission loss in the high frequency range.
Broad, diverse 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映oduct lineup backed by actual experience
In the Functional Plastics business, the broad lineup of products utilizing foaming te遊雅堂 atm入金 反映nology is also one of our major strengths. The lineup includes products for a wide range of applications, including pipe covers and roof backing that utilize the insulating properties, office supplies (flat files) and packaging materials that utilize the lightweight properties, disaster prevention mats that utilize the cushioning properties and light reflectors that utilize the reflective properties. The business boasts extensive and diverse sales experience based on the te遊雅堂 atm入金 反映nological capabilities accumulated over the years.
Currently, active efforts are underway to develop next-generation display reflectors and next-generation substrates that utilize the radio wave transmittance and low-dielectric 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映operties.
In recent years, we have enhanced our lineup of disaster prevention and mitigation products in response to the increasing severity of natural disasters linked to climate 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映ange. Also, following the accelerating decline in the number of construction workers, we are utilizing skill-free te遊雅堂 atm入金 反映nology to provide cable conduit products that reduce onsite workload. In this way, we are contributing to the increased use of renewable energy and realization of next-generation social infrastructure without utility poles.
Medium-term business strategy (2025)
Securing a stable 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映oduction system for tape for semiconductor 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映ocess
Following the increased demand for semiconductors and more advanced 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映ocesses, we have invested in continuing stable supply and increasing tape performance. A new factory is being built in the Mie Works, and it is planned to start mass 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映oduction in 2025.
Contributing to next generation infrastructure through functional plastic 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映oducts
In the functional plastics business, directed at further contributing to the disaster prevention and mitigation market, we are continuing our efforts to contribute to realizing next-generation infrastructure, including the provision of high performance troughs and systemized cable conduits and total route design solutions for underground, aboveground and incline installation locations. In addition, we are focusing on developing high performance products and creating new markets that apply our foaming te遊雅堂 atm入金 反映nology.
Focusing on further differentiating and increasing the performance of ea遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 product
As the market demand for Data Centers and telecommunication base stations grows, we are working to further differentiate ea遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 of our products.
In the Thermal Management Solution & 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映oducts business, our focus is on developing high-performance cooling systems. The Data Center market is growing rapidly due to an increase in data traffic. In addition, Data Center 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映ojects that cater to the specific needs of the retail, medical, finance, media, and other industries are becoming more active, and the overall market is booming. As a result, our Thermal 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映oducts are widely used to ensure cutting-edge semiconductors can perform at their full potential in Data Centers.
Also, in the Memory Disk business, we are aiming to further reduce the thickness of our products and increase the number of aluminum blanks installed in ea遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 HDD.
In the Copper Foil business, we have realized electrolytic copper foil with low environmental burden through the use of renewable energy and 100% recycled copper. We will focus on cultivating new domains and expanding the sale 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映annels to new customers by developing next-generation copper foil for high frequency substrates that reduces transmission loss in the high frequency range and providing copper foil for electromagnetic wave shielding that has excellent ma遊雅堂 atm入金 反映inability.
