「In November 2022, we renewed the natural-material nonwoven Texel Flash, made entirely from natural materials, and added 3 new products with improved hand feel, strength, and water dispersibility to the lineup.」

「We continue to work on the rapid development of high-performance, high-value-added products. In December 2021, we successfully developed automotive window film that combines high heat insulation and light transmission, which had previously been difficult to achieve simultaneously. We are also actively developing environmentally friendly products. In February 2022, we developed the recycled-resource mixed paper MEGURISH (Cotton), which incorporates previously discarded fibers, fabric scraps, and recovered clothing as paper raw materials, and in March of the same year developed Kinari-to, a biodegradable nonwoven material made primarily from plant-based cellulose and polylactic acid.」

「In response to the global shift toward a decarbonized society and the rapid adoption of electric vehicles, we decided to add 2 production facilities in Shiga Prefecture for polypropylene film used in capacitors for electric-vehicle motor drive control units, with operations scheduled to begin in 2023 and 2024. Production capacity is expected to double from the level as of February 2022.」

「In December 2021, the Group company 新タック化成株式会社 successfully developed automotive window film that combines excellent heat insulation and light transmission, which had previously been difficult to achieve simultaneously.」

「Going forward, we will continue to rapidly develop high-performance, high-value-added products and work to expand into new business areas through our continued pursuit of an R&D-driven business.」

「In the specialty paper business, we are proposing various materials for paper trays, containers, straws, and other applications in response to the shift away from plastics. We are also developing composite materials that combine cellulose with other materials, as well as heat-resistant glass paper with excellent heat resistance and low dielectric properties, and will continue developing and commercializing new products to meet needs in a wide range of fields.」

「Going forward, we will continue to rapidly develop high-performance, high-value-added products by combining our core technologies with new materials, and will work to expand into new business areas, including increasing sales of capacitor films for electric vehicles, through our continued pursuit of an R&D-driven business.」

「In the adhesive business, we are focusing on developing various adhesive sheets and high-performance films for evolving touch panels. Products such as adhesive sheets with improved stylus compatibility, adhesive sheets that reduce performance degradation, and films that improve screen visibility have been adopted for smartphones, notebook PCs, game consoles, and other applications.」
