Our company opened the second and third factories in June 2023 on the premises of our first factory in Kato City, Hyogo Prefecture, to expand the manufacturing capacity of battery prototyping equipment and the supply of expanded metal. The demand for battery prototyping equipment is increasing year by year, driven by the spread of EV cars. Many companies and research facilities have been inquiring about our coaters and press equipment, which can be used not only for battery component prototyping but also for other applications. In response, we are adding new machining centers to our existing factory and expanding the factory on the premises of our first factory to aim for increased equipment supply and to accommodate the manufacturing of large-scale equipment. Expanded metal is a mesh-like metal material originally developed by our company, and it is used in various applications beyond battery components, including sports equipment, computers, and precision machinery parts. Previously, processing was only done at our Miki factory in Hyogo Prefecture, but recently there have been cases where it is also used in construction materials, leading to the decision to expand the factory on the premises of our first factory.
