In 1986, in Sugito, Saitama Prefecture, we integrated research institutes that previously operated independently for each product line into a single Technical Research Institute. This integration aimed to promote friendly competition and stimulate interaction between personnel through the concentration of our research facilities, as well as driving the fusion and evolution of technological seeds.
Currently, as TOPPAN’s core R&D facility, the TOPPAN Technical Research Institute is targeting new technologies necessary for new business creation, centered on printing technologies. Our research includes basic research to broaden and deepen the scope of our technologies, commercial product development to utilize our technology-based ingenuity and create highly original and competitive products, and technical support to assist R&D with advanced expertise.
We also actively conduct joint research with leading domestic and international companies, universities, and research institutions to drive these R&D efforts.
Through these activities, we integrate and evolve diverse printing technologies to enhance our technologies and propose new solutions from both technical and market perspectives in collaboration with our business divisions and business development departments.
