Castem Co., Ltd. will exhibit at the "Monozukuri Fair 2026" held at Marine Messe Fukuoka from October 14 (Wednesday) to 16 (Friday), 2026. "Small lots are not suitable for casting" and "You can't make a casting with just one piece" — are you giving up on producing cast parts for such reasons? At this exhibition, we will introduce three casting methods that can be selected according to application and quantity, as well as MIM (Metal Injection Molding), which is suitable for fine and thin-walled parts. We will propose the optimal manufacturing method tailored to your needs, from prototyping and development of metal parts to small-lot production and mass production. We welcome inquiries such as "Can this part be cast?" and "Can you accommodate small quantities?" In addition to samples of each method, we will also display a dragon sculpture, which has a high casting difficulty. You can experience Castem's technical capabilities on the spot. We look forward to your visit to the Castem booth. 【Exhibition Overview】 Exhibition Name: Monozukuri Fair 2026 Date: October 14 (Wednesday) to 16 (Friday), 2026, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (until 4:00 PM on the last day) Venue: Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A (7-1 Okihamacho, Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture) Exhibition Booth Number: AE-38

Castem Co., Ltd. will exhibit at the first domestic specialized exhibition for casting-related products and services, "Foundry Tech + Expo 2026," which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from September 9 (Wednesday) to September 11 (Friday), 2026. We will provide proposals tailored to our customers' challenges from the perspective of "method conversion through three casting methods," addressing familiar issues in manufacturing such as reviewing component costs, improving design flexibility, and accommodating small lot procurement. At our booth, we will conduct casting demonstrations that have received positive feedback each time, as well as display works that have won the grand prize at international casting contests. You will be able to see the potential of casting technology through actual items. We hope to present content that will be of interest to a wide range of departments, including design, development, procurement, and production technology. If you have any concerns regarding components, please consult the "Component Inquiry" at the Castem booth.

Castem Co., Ltd. will hold a free webinar on June 25 (Thursday) and June 29 (Monday) for new and mid-career employees who have joined the manufacturing industry, focusing on the basics of metal processing. In this seminar, we will explain representative metal processing methods such as cutting, sheet metal processing, welding, and casting (sand casting, die casting, lost wax) in an easy-to-understand manner, avoiding technical jargon as much as possible, making it accessible for those who are new to the manufacturing industry. ■ Date and Time 【Session 1】 June 25 (Thursday) 15:00 - 16:00 https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/ba74cae1-f1e4-48aa-a5c4-668ff079ffe7@f2151f36-589f-4fcf-a7e6-1e6e45532107 【Session 2】 June 29 (Monday) 15:00 - 16:00 https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/2cca063b-c05c-4772-b0ab-ca5a7310fde4@f2151f36-589f-4fcf-a7e6-1e6e45532107 ■ Format Online event

We will be exhibiting at the "3rd SPEXA International Space Business Exhibition" held at Tokyo Big Sight from May 27 (Wednesday) to May 29 (Friday), 2026. At this exhibition, we will introduce our precision casting and MIM (Metal Injection Molding) technologies, which cater to high-performance and difficult-to-machine materials such as A7075 super duralumin, Inconel, and titanium. "We want to reduce material costs." "We want to lower the machining costs of difficult-to-machine materials." "We are looking for a manufacturer for small quantity parts." In response to these challenges, Castem offers component manufacturing solutions utilizing casting and MIM technologies. We can accommodate everything from small-scale prototypes to small-lot repeat production. Please feel free to consult with us at the venue. 【Exhibition Overview】 Exhibition: 3rd SPEXA International Space Business Exhibition Dates: May 27 (Wednesday) to May 29 (Friday), 2026, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Venue: Tokyo Big Sight, South Exhibition Hall S6-2 (3-11-1 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo) URL: https://www.spexa.jp/tokyo/ja-jp.html

Castem Co., Ltd. and Castem Global Group's Castem Vietnam held the completion ceremony for the newly established factory in Quang Ninh Province, Northern Vietnam, in January 2026. This is the first expansion into Vietnam for our group, and this factory will be our seventh overseas production base. Following the planned second phase of construction, it is expected to become the largest production base in the group in the future. The factory will manufacture lost-wax precision casting parts used in semiconductors, precision machinery, and construction machinery. We chose Vietnam, where economic growth is anticipated, as a new production base for our main business of lost-wax precision casting. Currently, we are advancing with prototypes and plan to start mass production by the end of May 2026. Once the second phase of construction is completed by the end of 2028, we will ultimately be able to produce one million units per month (with a product shipment weight of approximately 120 tons/month). On the day of the ceremony, about 100 participants, including business partners and local stakeholders, attended and toured the various processes such as mold making, casting, and machining. Although we are starting with a compact system in terms of equipment and personnel, we will continue to take on challenges and advance our business to a new dimension.
