Here, I would like to explain my thoughts on our long-term vision. The Company was founded in 1927 to manufacture and sell gummed tape for packaging. This sort of tape is wet and then applied, like a postage stamp. Keeping an eye on the growing tendency to replace conventional wooden boxes—the main-stream up to that point—with corrugated cardboard boxes, we became the first company in Japan to mass-produce gummed tape. In the 1950s, the business expanded quickly in response to demand for postwar reconstruction. Later, during Japan’s era of high economic growth, we entered various industrial fields, starting with adhesive materials for seals and labels and then moving into automobile-related fields. In the late 1980s, we met the needs of the expanding semiconductor industry by developing a product using a new technology that uses ultraviolet radiation to control adhesive strength. In 1990, LINTEC Corporation was formed through a three-company merger involving FSK CORPORATION, SHIKOKU PAPER CO., LTD., and SOHKEN KAKO CO., LTD. As business expanded, we adopted a structure comprising the six operations we have today. Looking back, we can see that the LINTEC Group has a history of helping to address the social issues of the times ESG-conscious sustainability management is essential to our efforts to help create a sustainable society and remain a company that is trusted by all stakeholders. In formulating LSV 2030-Stage 2, while taking our operating environment into account we identified priority issues related to environ-mental responsiveness, intellectual property, product devel-opment, and human resources as material issues and set Demand for gummed tape for packaging rose as cardboard boxes became mainstream.Adhesive products for seals and labels remain core products today. while meeting the needs of its customers. This basic stance remains unchanged today. One example of this is our estab-lishment of elemental technologies for pellicles for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography equipment, announced in December 2023. Pellicles are important components that serve as dust-proof films to prevent foreign matter from adhering to photomasks (base plates for making semicon-ductor circuit patterns). In recent years, highly durable carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted attention as a material for use in pellicles. The LINTEC Group started to develop pellicles from CNTs in 2018 at the Nano-Science & Technology Center, its R&D base in the U.S., where the Group is developing CNT sheets. We have developed elemental technologies for more advanced materials that are indispensable for the formation of fine circuits for next-generation semiconductors using EUV lithography. Through our commitment to manufacturing and our relentless pursuit of new technologies, we will develop technologies that usher in a new era and help create a sustainable society. This is the spirit of our long-term vision, LSV 2030.new KPIs as evaluation metrics. With these KPIs in place, we can channel all our efforts toward both economic and social value.
