press release

The new factory will produce intermittently fixed Optcal Fiber ribbons Spider Web Ribbon ^™(hereinafter referred to as "SWR ^™") that are mounted inside our proprietary Wrapping Tube Cable ^™(hereinafter referred to as "WTC ^™").

With the start of operations, SWR^™ production volume is expected to increase by approximately 30% on an Optcal Fiber length basis.

In recent years, data traffic has increased rapidly due to the advancement of generative AI, and the demand for high-volume, high-speed, and low-latency communications is growing. The development of optical fiber broadband and data center is increasing in many countries, and this demand is expected to continue in the future.

In order to meet increasing demand, we have been constructing a new SWR ^™ factory to strengthen the production capacity of Optcal Fiber cables　SWR ^™ / WTC^™ at our Sakura Work.

The new factory has now begun operations, with an opening ceremony held on February 17th.

At the new SWR ^™ factory, we are not only strengthening our production capacity to meet growing demand, but also pursuing high quality and productivity by utilizing our own manufacturing equipment and Monodukuri DX (digital transformation). In addition, we are actively introducing GX (green transformation) technology, aiming to become our first carbon neutral factory.

Through the operation of the new factory, we will continue to contribute to the realization of an advanced information society.
