R&D Development Framework

Backed by the foil materials research lab at the UACJ Technological Research and Development Center, we strive to strengthen existing base technologies and develop next-generation products in three fields: battery foils, capacitor foils and processed foils. We also carefully consider the quality of foil materials during upstream processes in order to provide aluminum foil with high added value.
