Technology has advanced through the mutual interaction of development needs and research seeds. We could say that the mission of enterprises in society now is the creation of new value. In order to fulfill our role in society as a business dedicated to the development of technology, we sometimes undertake collaborations with university laboratories, public agencies and other organizations, especially the cultivation of technologies related to tribology. As we fuse different knowledge systems, we conduct research activities to create new value with cost-performance as a prerequisite. As we seek to become a business that is a source of technology, in addition to the expertise and technology that we have accumulated to the present, our research organization seeks to maximize the utilization of technology creation potential to support the progress of humanity and protection of nature as well as to realize the potentials of plastics.
