With rapid infrastructural development in China and Asia-Pacific amplifying demand for advanced industrial technologies and electrical insulation materials – a market projected to reach US$8.95 billion this year – Kawamura Sangyo is well-positioned to benefit from the region’s economic growth.
A leading manufacturer and distributor of insulators, micro-machining products and electronic materials in Japan for more than 50 years, Kawamura Sangyo supplies key Asian markets such as mainland China, Taiwan and South Korea. It aims to quadruple its exports over the next five years.
“Our strength is precision processing, so there are many possible future applications for our technologies,” says Toshifumi Kondo, president. “We want to explore different fields and ways we can use our expertise in Japan and throughout Asia.”
Kawamura Sangyo manufactures high-performance, cost-efficient and world-class insulator processing and electronic processing products. These range from slit products including plastic films and metal foils, coating products such as heat-resistant backup tape and adhesiveless laminate materials to router processed products and insulators for motors and transformers.
Placing importance on research and development (R&D), the company has developed a number of processing technologies in slitting, film and sheet forming, plasma surface treatment, heat lamination, coating, board forming, pure water cleaning and sputtering. Combined, these technologies continue to generate a growing roster of products.
