Message from the presidentPrint

When you think it’s difficult…

Kunio Arai, President and Representative Director Kakogawa Plastics Co., Ltd.

　When you’re developing new products or improving existing ones, and you run into a wall and grumble to yourself how difficult it all is, remember that everyone else has felt the same way.
　At times like those, come knock on the door of Kakogawa Plastics.
　Since we were founded 50 years ago, Kakogawa Plastics has compiled an impressive record of performance in our fields of specialty—the slit processing of plastics, and metal Vacuum Deposition processing on plastic film.

　We are capable of conducting the Vacuum Deposition process for all kinds of metal (aluminum, zinc, copper, nickel, tin, gold, silver, etc.) on all kinds of plastic films (PET, PP, PPS, PI, PA, PTFE, etc.) with thin film layers of all types. We hope to use these combinations to assist a wide range of product development, including electrical and electronic parts, parts for information and communications equipment, and parts for medical devices.

　You just might find a new idea or the inspiration for new product development on the other side of the door.
　We aim to become a company that fulfills your expectations and trust. Our objective is to become a company that others want to discuss their business problems with.

Kunio Arai,
President and Representative Director Kakogawa Plastics Co., Ltd.
