Top-Level Global Market Share 1. High-cleanliness, high-quality and high-accuracy products demanded by the semiconductor industry 1) Development and molding of pure special-grade resin Resin containing less gas components, metallic compounds and ionic materials. Highly difficult molding with pure resin. 2) Inspection capable of maintaining high cleanliness, high quality and high accuracy Analysis at the µg (microgram) to ng (nanogram) level. 3) All the production processes have been turned into clean rooms. (Anticontamination measure) 4) Dimension accuracy for using the wafers in an automated line Position control in steps of 10 µm. 2. Customer-based support Silicon wafer manufacturers, device manufacturers 9
Integrated Production System Raw Material Development Our original raw materials have been jointly developed with a raw material manufacturer. Developing production and marketing of high-function, high-purity products As a breakdown of raw materials used, high-performance plastics account for over 90% (e.g., PEEK, PBT, PEE, PC, POE, PFA, PTFE). General-purpose plastic resins account for less than 10% (e.g., PP, PE, PS, PMMA, ABS). + Established the materials laboratory in 2013 to enhance our research and development system. 10

Overview of Subsidiary Sanjo Seiki Co., Ltd. Business outline: Production and marketing of various vertical molding machines and metal molds President: Hideo Yamawaki No. of employees: 86 Main office: Tokyo, Plant: Yamaguchi (Hagi, Mine) Excellent chemistry with automated equipment. Space-saving vertical molding machine to realize a smart production plant. When it comes to molding machines, horizontal ones are the mainstream. Since vertical ones operate in the same direction as gravity, however, the metal mold is subject to a lighter burden, allowing a more even flow of raw materials at the time of molding. Sanjo s molding machines are good at handling special raw materials with LIM, BMC and transfer molding. 19
