Japan: MEKTEC strengthens global production network through NOK Group collaboration

Discover how MEKTEC's flexible printed circuits enable cameras, EVs, and medical tech, strengthening NOK Group's global production network.

"MEKTEC is a pioneer of FPC to enable development of material, production and performance testing consistently. – Taro Ito, CEO of MEKTEC"

Tokyo, December 25

MEKTEC has distinctive technology of Flexible Printed Circuits. It is a thin, light and bounding electronic circuit board and is integral for various digital devices and direct body contact health keeping machine.

Taro Ito, CEO of MEKTEC, "MEKTEC belongs to the NOK group and its main mission is the electronic part production business. Digital machines and products of social necessity incorporate MEKTEC products. We contribute to the development of digital society. For MEKTEC break through event was installed for the main circuit board of the single lens reflex camera. It brought us the big fame of FPC. Afterward FPC expanded and was installed to the hard disc drive to keep data. It is an important role because the FPC for the head part must withstand 100 million vibrations. 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. It will strengthen the existence of the global market as "Global one NOK."

Based on cooperative R&D of the NOK group, MEKTEC fulfils global social demand. When scientific technology's progress brings new social subject it will be solved by MEKTEC.

Interesting read. The application in medical devices and EVs is crucial. With India pushing for electric vehicles and better healthcare tech, I wonder if any Indian companies are collaborating with MEKTEC or developing similar indigenous FPC technology?

"Global one NOK" sounds impressive, but the real test is after-sales service and support in markets like India. Many foreign tech firms have great products but fail to provide timely maintenance. Hope their global network includes robust support.

Good to see focus on solving social problems through tech. However, the article is very promotional and reads like a company press release. Would have appreciated more critical analysis or data on market share/challenges.

Weight reduction in EV batteries is a huge deal for increasing range. If FPC can contribute significantly, it's a major innovation. Japan and Germany are leading in automotive tech, India has to catch up fast in this EV race.
