We can provide high value-added metallic powders consists of various metal, alloy, oxide, and multi-layers of those materials. Applications promise to go beyond those of conventional metallic inks, to advanced solution such as metallic pigments for self-drive vehicles, pearl-colored pigments used in security, and room-temperature conductive bonding materials.
History
Deposition and coating technologies accumulated over many years
With over half a century of experience in the metallic thread business, OIKE & Co. has accumulated a range of deposition and coating technologies. In recent years we have been diversifying into electronics, with successes such as our transparent conductive film for touch panels. Technologies that we have accrued over many years can easily be put to use in new development thanks to our extensive database. In addition, we are making the most of these technologies in applied research to drive expansion into new areas.
Head office in an 80-year-old Kyoto-style trading house
OIKE & Co., Ltd. has its head office in a traditional Kyoto-style trading house built in 1931 in the center of Kyoto, the home of the Gion Festival. Although we partially renovated the interior when the company moved here in 1933, the exterior is completely original. This remains our head office even today. Some are surprised that this classic exterior houses a company engaged in developing products for the electronics industry, but our overseas clients in particular seem to enjoy its charm.
