SHOEI develops and manufactures electronic materials. The Company’s main focus is on conductive pastes, resistive pastes, dielective pastes, and powders for use in electronic devices and components. The scope of application of electronics continues to broaden. Electronics are now incorporated into audio-visual equipment, household appliances, precision equipment, automotive control components, communications devices, and computers - irtually every device essential to contemporary living. Currently, miniaturization and higher performance are sought by many industries that rely on electronic components, and SHOEI has pursued a higher level of quality to realize these characteristics in its products. SHOEI is exploring the world of sub-micron to nano dimensions in its quest to develop more highly functional products and respond to these customer needs. In the years ahead, we will continue to open new horizons in the field of electronic materials. 1.
