Message from Top Management

Kyoto Elex possesses technologies enabling us to variously control the configuration and size of the metal and glass powders comprising conductive pastes and their combination with resin. In response to customer needs, we can identify, commercialize, and supply optimal solutions from among the limitless combinations of organic and inorganic materials. If there is no appropriate resin available, we can create an original material by making use of the abilities of DKS Co. Ltd. (for organic chemistry) and DOWA Electronics Materials Co., Ltd (for inorganic chemistry). In the quest for redoubled understanding and support, we look forward to resolving the full range of your unique wants and needs.

Governance

We are committed to fulfilling our social responsibilities as a member of DKS Group, and have established the following Code of Conduct.

Environment

Environmental load lowering initiatives

We strive to continuously enhance environment control under ISO 14001 management systems.
In addition to installation of solar power generation facilities on building rooftops, we work to lower daily power consumption through heightened productivity, support resource recycling and reduced waste with comprehensive sorting of trash, and advance other spirited measures.

We are working to reduce CO2 emissions all over the world.

We are proud to contribute to the spread of solar cells and the reduction of CO2 emissions worldwide through the manufacture and sale of conductive pastes for high-efficiency solar cells.
While silver, a precious metal, is also a material with a relatively high CO2 emission coefficient in the manufacturing process, we are committed to developing new products that reduce the use of environmentally hazardous precious metals.
This is how we contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions and environmental protection worldwide.
