Toyo Aluminium K.K. | Research & Development

One of the elements that drives Toyo Aluminium forward as the top manufacturer of aluminium foils and aluminium pastes is a well-established research and development system and outstanding product development capabilities employing the optimized use of the achievements of research and development.
Toyo Aluminium established the world's first research and development center on aluminium foil production in its Yao Plant in 1964, which was followed by the establishment of an aluminium paste research division in 1967.
Since then the research laboratory has served as the core of the research and development system conducting fundamental and applied research at Toyo Aluminium.
Today, the organization for research and development has been reformed as the core technology center comprised of three sections including the research & development Office, the Intellectual Property Office and the Technical Management Office with the purpose of promoting efficiency in research and development, and the further enhancement and protection of core competence. This new organization provides comprehensive support with regard to product development and manufacturing technology for each division.
