In fiscal 2021, our R&D department was transferred to Japan Carlit Co., Ltd. to create a new product development structure in which our R&D, sales, and manufacturing departments work closely together. Within the transferred R&D department, we established a new Development Division to enhance inter-departmental coordination and accelerate product development. At our R&D Center, to perform its functions that are required of a working level organization which is responsible for research and development operations, we focus on balancing research and development with a small team of elite personnel. In our research work, we set our sights on enhancing our research capabilities, to establish unique technologies by deepening and evolving our product technologies, which are one of our strengths. Going forward, we are considering placing our distinct "Carlit mark" on our core technologies, to provide further added value to new products that we develop.

R&D activities based on our core technologies
The brine electrolysis technology that we have been pursuing as our core technology since our founding was to realize our founding philosophy of all-Japan manufacturing in harmony with Japan's natural environment by combining Japan's abundant water resources, electricity generated by hydroelectric power, and salt, a marine resource.
While we have been exposed to rapid external changes amidst the recent trend of globalization, we will continue to embrace our approach to further advancing this core technology and creating new and unique products as our basic policy for research and development.
Research & Development Policy
- Development of new long-life products through evolution of our core technologies
- Creating new high value-added materials through speedy development in response to change
Research & Development Strategy
We predict that the mobility sector, the electronics sector and the life science sector will become focus areas in our research and development activities.
In the mobility sector, we are considering development centered primarily on the battery testing service business with a focus on lithium batteries for EVs, and the rocket propellant business, etc.
In the electronics sector, we plan to promote development focused on the electronic material business to meet the needs of the next-generation customers and the semiconductor-related business in collaboration with Silicon Technology, a group company.
In the life science sector, we are considering development themes centering on the biopolymer business and the cosmetics raw material business whose themes include the global environment and human life.
