The Nitto Group supplies numerous essential components for high-end devices, including optical films for high-end smartphones and circuit materials.
The enactment of European Battery Regulation^*1 is expected to drive demand for electrical release tape^*2, which simplifies smartphone repairs. In addition, the growing popularity of foldable products with organic EL (OLED) displays—attracting attention in next-generation high-end devices—is anticipated to increase demand for optical transparent adhesive sheets and component-fixing tapes. To meet these rising demand and support future business expansion, we have decided to construct a new factory.

• *1 European Battery Regulation: Mandates that smartphones sold in Europe from 2027 be designed to allow consumers to easily replace batteries.
• *2 Electrical Release Tape : A tape that can be removed without damaging the component housing by using a special adhesive that loses its stickiness when exposed to a small amount of electricity, equivalent to that of a dry cell battery, for several tens of seconds.

The Nitto Group is promoting initiatives to simultaneously solve social issues and create economic value by integrating its “Niche Top Strategy” with its “Nitto-style ESG Strategy” to achieve the 2030 ideal state. This new factory, equipped with environmentally conscious facilities, aims to contribute to a sustainable global environment and a prosperous human society by delivering stable supply and high-quality products to customers in the rapidly evolving high-end device market.
