Piab's suction cups for the automotive industry. This product is suitable for vehicle bodies, parts assembly lines, and low to medium-speed press lines.

The cups in this series are made from a nitrile-PVC material (black, silicone-free) with a rubber hardness of 60 (Shore A), offering excellent durability. The cups are equipped with anti-slip cleats to withstand the shear forces of applications. All cups are molded with aluminum inserts. They can be mounted using either a user-specific fitting or Piab's unique fittings, including a quick connection system – T-slot. The cups are designed to withstand shear forces even at low vacuum levels and to "prevent slipping." PAB – Piab Automotive Bellows (5 types, sizes 30-80 mm): Designed for thin metal plates used in the automotive industry. Suitable for gripping flat workpieces as well as workpieces with uneven or curved surfaces. It is also suitable for destacking applications where height correction is needed. Designed to accommodate both dry surfaces and surfaces with oil. Capable of withstanding high shear forces. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us. (Piab Japan Co., Ltd.)

In public construction civil engineering sites, there are many instances where sheets are used as common temporary facilities, such as construction roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and worker pathways. Traditionally, steel plates were common, but due to their weight, transportation and installation can be cumbersome. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering materials made from wooden CLT for civil engineering use. The 5×10 sheet weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to transport, install, and remove, even with small machinery. They can be widely utilized for temporary roads, heavy machinery scaffolding, pathways within the site, and protection of material storage in public works. Since they are made of wood, they also contribute to environmental aspects such as reducing summer heat reflection, lowering noise, and fixing CO2. They can simultaneously address construction efficiency, safety measures, and environmental considerations, making them effective for innovative proposals in public works. Furthermore, they improve transportation efficiency and reduce labor in site operations as an alternative to steel plates. Hyper CLT sheets are registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A." They are recommended for companies considering civil engineering, civil engineering use, and civil engineering CLT. Feel free to request materials or consult about implementation. They are temporary materials that also help improve site evaluations in public works. Please consider them.

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.

New York and Tokyo, June 26, 2026 - (JCN Newswire) - This year's successful listing of PayPay Corporation (hereinafter "PayPay") on NASDAQ has provided a significant boost. The question now facing Japan's leading innovation companies is no longer "Is a U.S. listing feasible?" but rather "How can we attract global capital and build companies that align with global growth strategies?" The 2nd Japan Go IPO Summit will be held on September 16, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo to address this question. This summit is hosted by MarcumAsia and organized by AUM Advisors.

Our company representative, Shibata, will be speaking as a lecturer at the "Mikata Project" AI Utilization Seminar for the automotive industry, hosted by the Chubu Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry. ■ Title: AI Implementation Course Leading to Results - Learning Success Patterns and Practical Processes from Real Examples in Manufacturing Sites "We implemented AI, but it is not being used on-site and is left unattended" and "The implementation has become the goal without yielding results" - we have seen many such stumbling blocks in manufacturing sites. In the seminar, based on real examples, we will discuss common patterns for successful implementation that lead to results, pitfalls to avoid, and practical processes to ensure AI is continuously used. We will also propose specific measures for sites struggling with technology transfer and dependency on individuals. ■ Event Overview Date: July 3, 2026 (Friday) 13:30 - 16:00 Venue: TKP Meitetsu Nagoya Station Conference Center + Online Participation Fee: Free / Application Deadline: June 30 (Tuesday) Organizer: Chubu Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry (Automotive Industry "Mikata Project") Co-presenter: Satoru Hayami, Waseda University For details and registration, please visit the official page of the Chubu Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry. If you are struggling with AI implementation in manufacturing sites, please feel free to consult us, regardless of region or industry.
