And a folded mobile phone was developed. In this case function to be endured to folding is important. It established the distinctive position of MEKTEC. EV cars are equipped with batteries. Weight reduction is especially an important subject. FPC can realize it and shipping of FPC is increasing. On the other hand, we are developing medical treatment machines and infrastructure based on cooperation with academia and administration. It aims to solve social problems. MEKTEC is a pioneer of FPC to enable development of material, production and performance testing consistently. In every production base all over the world we can produce the same quality and supply system. It is the strong point. Business growth of MEKTEC accelerates the competing capability of the NOK group.
