JFC has succeeded in developing mass production technology for "silicon nitride substrates for power semiconductors" based on technology owned by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (Chu-bu Center). This technology is being increasingly adopted by users as a high-heat dissipation insulating substrate for mounting power semiconductors, which are essential for the electrification of automobiles.
In October 2024, we received the 2024 Corporate Environmental Achievement Award from the American Ceramic Society, a global academic organization, in recognition of our contribution to the realization of a global low-carbon society. This award is given to companies that have achieved the development and social implementation of new processes and products and have made a certain level of environmental contribution to the world. Encouraged by this award, we will continue to contribute to a sustainable society through the transformation of fine ceramics.

In 2006, we started and established Total Productive Management (TPM) activities, which have cultivated the on-site capabilities that JFC is proud of. TPM activities aim to prevent "losses" such as breakdowns, product defects, and wasteful work by properly maintaining and continuing to improve manufacturing plants and equipment. It is characterized by focusing on loss and targeting zero loss. In TPM activities, the difference between the ideal operating state of equipment and processes and the current operating state is considered to be "loss". In order to reduce loss, we have created a culture in which loss is clearly recognized and quantified, and improvement proposals are made and accepted by everyone, from young employees to veterans. Maintaining high productivity without loss also leads to reducing the environmental impact.

Based on the idea that "trust creates great power," JFC has fostered a culture that values respect among employees and accepts diverse values. It is this culture that supports the dreams and challenges of research and development and is the driving force behind the creation of new value. Furthermore, the trust in JFC's corporate culture has led to multiple M&A inquiries, and one of the major characteristics of JFC's history is that it has grown while accepting different corporate cultures. With employees who have dreams and take on challenges of their own accord, and who combine diverse knowledge, we will continue to evolve as a sustainable company. We believe that this cycle built on trust will not only contribute to the growth of the company, but also to the development of society.
