Presentations to Educate the Industry

We have been actively educating the electronics industry through our presentations at the trade shows and other events. We are committed to encouraging our clients to use environmentally responsible materials.

 

Reusing Trade Show Booth (1995 - 2000)

To demonstrate our seriousness toward environmental issues, we've constructed a reusable trade show booth which was repeatedly used between 1995 and 2000.

When the booth was not in trade shows, it acted as a conferencing space at the headquarter building. The booth structure has been retired from trade shows, but it's still actively used at our Tochigi facility in 2009. [photos below]
