In 1960, we began selling adhesive papers for labels and subsequently entered the adhesive lm eld, thereby laying the foundations of our current mainstay businesses. In the 1970s, the Company diversied into products for motorcycles, automobiles, and interior / exterior decoration. After changing its name to FSK CORPORATION, the Company entered the semiconductor eld in 1986 through the development of innovative products. In these ways, the Company’s business domains broadened as times changed. LINTEC Corporation came into being in 1990 through a three-way merger with SHIKOKU PAPER CO., LTD. and SOHKEN KAKO CO., LTD. This led to signicant extension of the technology domain into upstream areas such as papermaking.Since our founding in 1927 as FUJI SHOKAI, we have steadily grown through constant development of technolo-gies and products that anticipate the needs of the times. Since the 1990 merger of three companies to form LINTEC Corporation, the Group has been stepping up globalization. Today, LINTEC products play important roles in a wide range of countries.COVER STORYLINTEC’s HistoryNet Sales¥102,608 millionGummed tapeTime of establishmentUV curable dicing tape2LINTEC ANNUAL REPORT 20171991 Made full-scale entry into LCD-related product eldFeb. 1994 Singapore Ofce openedMay 1994 PT.
