Product initiatives

  • *With a view to reducing the environmental burden caused by the parts and materials we purchase from our suppliers, we promote the recycling of these parts and materials. We also review the parts used in our factories based on our Green Procurement Guidelines in order to replace them with environmentally preferable parts and to enhance the management of the chemicals contained in our products.
  • *When developing a new product, we make a careful assessment of its energy-saving capacity, level of downsizing, resource-saving performance, and chemical content. We also work to reduce waste by promoting recycling in order to create environmentally conscious products such as our newly developed fiber laser systems.
