Four Core TechnologiesAdhesive applicationsThrough the development of adhesives and substrates and the combination of related technologies, we are expanding the range of elds in which the basic functions of adhesive products, primarily adhesion and release, are utilized.System development Through the systemization of machinery and equipment and building high-level systems that draw on the distinctive charac-teristics of materials, we are providing advanced solutions.Surface improvement Through the chemical and physical processing of the surfaces of paper and lm, we are enhancing their characteristics and adding new functionality.Specialty papers and release materials productionWe use original papermaking technologies and coating, impregnation, and laminating technologies to develop special function papers and high-value-added materials that transcend traditional concepts of paper.30LINTEC ANNUAL REPORT 2018Research and DevelopmentAs a technology-centered company, we realize that strengthening R&D capabilities is one of our most important management strategies for achieving sustainable growth. Two approaches help us to create both products that resolve our customers’ diverse technological issues and products that are unprec-edented, innovative, and lead the market: the developing of functional materials and related processing technologies that leverage our proprietary technological capabilities and a market-dialogue style of research that emphasizes customer needs. Going forward, we will further strengthen our R&D structure to accelerate the speed of product development and create new technologies.CORPORATE VALUE INITIATIVESResearch and Development StructureThe research center of the Research & Development Div. is the core base for the Group’s R&D activities. The center has not only state-of-the-art research facilities but also a clean room with the same semiconductor-related equipment that is found in the production environment of our customers. The completion of the Advanced Technology Building near existing facilities in Saitama in 2015, with its large-scale pilot coaters that closely resemble plant mass production facilities, provided a structure for smooth flow from R&D to mass production. The center mainly comprises the Product Research Dept., which develops products directly connected to our current business, and the New Materials Research Dept., which conducts R&D with a focus on the future. Approximately 200 research personnel are engaged in day-to-day research on these themes. In addition, the Nano-Science & Technology Center in Texas, the United States, is engaged in research in new fields outside our current technology domain.Large-scale pilot coater
