TactoTek Expands Operations in Japan

TactoTek announced that the company has expanded its operations in Japan and formed TactoTek KK with offices in Tokyo, from which it will serve Japan and other Asia-Pacific markets.

In conjunction with expanding its presence in Japan, TactoTek has been selected to receive a Tokyo Metropolitan Government subsidy for green technology transformation.

TactoTek licenses its in-mold structural electronics (IMSE) technology to companies that design and manufacture IMSE parts for their customers. The company has business relationships in Japan, including several licensees, and investors such as Cornes and Marklines. With its growing presence in Japan, TactoTek will support licensees and work directly with OEMs and brands to facilitate their adoption of IMSE technology in automotive and other industries.

“With accelerating interest in our IMSE technology across market segments, we are investing in our long-term presence in Japan to support our licensees and help OEMs and brands realize the full range of benefits of IMSE technology, from design innovation and simplifying supply chains, to step-function improvements in sustainability,” said Sami Hyyryläinen, TactoTek SVP sales and business development.
