Quality variation and supply anxiety due to dependency on a single supplier—by multi-sourcing ferrite cores for cable noise suppression, we achieved a stable supply and cost reduction simultaneously while ensuring equivalent quality. This is a standard scheme in fields where demand is growing due to the EV shift and 5G adoption.
This solution is tailored for companies facing challenges in the stable procurement of EMC and noise countermeasure components, such as electric wire manufacturers, air conditioner manufacturers, and automotive equipment manufacturers.

Simultaneous Challenges of “Defects/Complaints & BCP” Surface in Cable Noise Countermeasures

For cable noise suppression ferrite cores, responding to defects/complaints and addressing BCP (multi-sourcing) were requested simultaneously.
Dependency on a single supplier reached its limit in terms of both quality variation and risk.
● Situations where it surfaces: The defect and complaint response phase.
● Main impacts: Frequent complaints, production line stoppages, and the requirement to balance both quality stability and cost competitiveness.

Why Dependency on a Single Supplier is Risky: Quality Variation and Prolonged Lead Times

Procurement and supply chain factors (supply anxiety, lead times). Dependency on a single supplier.
● Specific evidence/basis: Physical property comparison of existing materials, defect sample verification.

Countermeasures Attempted So Far and Their Limitations

Requesting quality improvements from the single supplier (reached its limit), and abruptly searching for alternative sources (unstable).
Based on these limitations, we adopted the following approach as a more radical and fundamental solution.

Achieving Space-Saving in Electronic Equipment with Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF) × Local Slitting Process in Thailand | Integrating Connection, Insulation, and Adhesion into a Single Sheet

In OA equipment and EMS fields, demands for thinner products and cost reduction are intensifying simultaneously, while the conventional mounting method, where connection, insulation, and adhesion are handled by separate components, has reached its limits. By combining material integration into high-performance Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF) with local slitting and small-lot supply at our Thailand base, we provide solutions that simultaneously achieve space-saving inside devices, yield improvement, and cost reduction. It has already been adopted by multiple OA equipment manufacturers and EMS providers. Simultaneous Demands for "Space-Saving" and "Cost Reduction" Occurring in OA Equipment and EMS Fields In the fields of OA equipment and EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services), market demands for even thinner and smaller products are growing year by year. At the same time, price competition for final products is becoming fiercer, making the balance between maintaining functionality and reducing costs the biggest challenge for design and procurement departments.Particularly for the connection parts of electronic components, conventional wisdom dictated that three functions—conduction, insulation, and adhesion—be handled by separate components. However, this has become a structural bottleneck that causes more complex assembly processes, increased thickness, and higher costs. On the manufacturing lines of local factories in Thailand, deterioration in yield and inefficiencies in assembly processes caused by these connection components have already become apparent."We want to make the product one step thinner. However, we cannot compromise on connection strength, insulation performance, or adhesion reliability. Furthermore, we also want to reduce costs."——We receive many such inquiries from the design and procurement departments of local factories in the ASEAN region. Why Space-Saving is Impossible: Limits of the Mounting Method Layering Single-Function Connection, Insulation, and Adhesion Components The root causes identified from on-site witness inspections and cross-checking mounting data with yield data can be summarized into the following two points:・Insufficient mounting space at connection points: The overlapping of multiple components results in a loss of design flexibility.・Inefficiency of separate components handling conduction, insulation, and adhesion: Alignment and pasting processes for each component increase, leading to higher assembly time and defect rates.These issues cannot be resolved by improving individual parts; integration at the material design level is required.The grounds for identifying the causes are the comparison of the following three points:・On-site observation at customer manufacturing facilities・Cross-checking of mounting data and yield data・Deconstruction of the cost structure of existing component configurations Countermeasures Attempted So Far and Their Limits The countermeasures previously attempted by many customers face a common barrier:・Replacement with thinner conductive tape: Insufficient connection strength made it unacceptable.・Consideration of adopting local general-purpose ACF: Failed to meet required physical properties for heat and chemical resistance.・Reduction of assembly man-hours through process simplification: Did not achieve fundamental thinning or cost reduction.Given these limits, "material integration into high-performance ACF that realizes the three functions of conduction, insulation, and adhesion in a single sheet" and "acceleration of evaluation and mass production response through local processing and small-lot supply" emerge as the most effective measures. Solution Approach: Material Integration into High-Performance ACF × Local Slitting in Thailand × Small-Lot Supply Centering on material integration into high-performance Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF), we accompany you from the design stage to mass production through the combination of the following three steps. STEP. 01 Exploring High-Performance ACF Grades and Sample Prototyping From the high-performance ACF lineup of Japanese manufacturers, we select the optimal grade that meets required physical properties such as heat resistance, chemical resistance, connection strength, and adhesion reliability through matrix comparison. Following sample prototyping, we proceed with functional verification under the customer's mounting conditions to minimize risks before mass production. STEP. 02 Local Slitting Process and Direct Line Input at the Thailand Base Leveraging the network of our Thailand base, we perform slitting processes to the width and size specified by the customer. By supplying it in a shape that can be directly input into the production line, you can transition smoothly from evaluation to mass production without gaps. We also support quotation and settlement in local currency. STEP. 03 Division of Roles Inside and Outside Japan and Shortened Lead Times The Japan side handles ACF evaluation, formulation proposals, and heat resistance data preparation, while the Thailand side takes charge of mass production slitting and local inventory. Through this division of roles between both bases, we maximize the prototyping speed in the evaluation phase while simultaneously establishing a short-delivery supply to local factories. Fuji Chemi Trading's Supply System: Triangular Collaboration among Japan Headquarters, Thailand Base, and Mito Processing Center This solution is established through the division of roles among three bases:・Headquarters / Technology: ACF evaluation / formulation proposals / heat and chemical resistance data preparation / customer contact window・Thailand Base (Local Subsidiary): Local slitting process / local inventory storage / local currency quotation and settlement・Mito Processing Center: Parallel operation of slitting and die-cutting on the Japan side / immediate shipment of evaluation samples● Supply System: Slitting into small rolls at customer-specified widths, overseas inventory support, and immediate shipment of small-quantity samples for evaluation are possible. We have established a system to seamlessly accompany you from the evaluation phase to mass production. Results of Implementation: Simultaneous Achievement of Component Count Reduction, Thinning, and Yield Stabilization We have received the following qualitative and quantitative result reports from companies that have implemented this solution:・Reduction in the number of components by realizing connection, insulation, and adhesion with a single sheet・Thinning of products by reducing overlapping layers・Stabilization of yield (reduction of mounting defects)・Cost reduction due to material integration effects・Reduction of SKUs subject to inventory management● Implementation Lead Time: By sharing customer prototyping and evaluation inside and outside Japan, the time to mass production is shortened. Anticipated Ripple Effects and Horizontal Expansion: Three Returns Opened Up by ACF × Local Processing Material integration into ACF can be horizontally expanded to areas other than this case. Please use this as material for internal proposals.1. Expansion to other FPC/glass substrate connection projectsIt can be applied to all projects involving FPC connections, such as camera modules, sensors, and automotive displays. All fields requiring thinning and highly reliable connections, such as smart devices, wearable equipment, and automotive cockpits, are targeted.2. Simplification of the assembly process → Improvement of manufacturing line throughputIf assembly processes are reduced through material integration, the throughput of the manufacturing line itself will improve. This will be highly evaluated by manufacturing departments as a measure to increase production without expanding line capacity.3. Standardization of components within ASEAN and gaining inquiriesBy expanding the ACF adopted in Thailand to Vietnam factories and China factories with the same specifications, the "standardization of components" desired by the global headquarters' procurement department can be achieved. In addition, by turning it into a "small-lot evaluation kit" utilizing ACF evaluation know-how, it can lead to gaining inquiries from new customers. Differences from Competitors: Why Fuji Chemi Trading is Chosen While many trading companies handle only raw film materials, our unique strength lies in our ability to handle everything up to "ACF evaluation + local slitting + small-lot immediate delivery" within a single company. Trading companies with networks capable of maintaining Japanese quality in local Thailand are limited, and we can proceed from the evaluation phase to the mass production phase without disrupting the responsible contact window.・Difference from raw material sales-type trading companiesOne-stop support from evaluation, processing, to small-lot immediate delivery・Difference from local trading companiesProviding Japanese quality standards, Japanese language support, and materials for management・Difference from processing subcontractorsHandling everything from material selection, grade proposals, to heat resistance data preparation Product Information: Spec Overview of Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF) The Anisotropic Conductive Films with a proven track record of adoption can be selected from multiple grades depending on the application and mounting conditions.

Root-Zone Water Retention for Drought and High-Temperature Stress Countermeasures | On-Site Demonstration Solutions for Biodegradable Superabsorbent Polymers (EF Polymer)

For regions where seedlings must be raised with limited irrigation, such as during prolonged dry seasons or in sandy soils, we propose a combination of the biodegradable superabsorbent polymer "EF Polymer" and a root-zone water retention process based on local verification. Starting with demonstrations in Nigeria, we are driving global expansion into the agriculture, afforestation, and greening sectors. The Water Shortage Challenge of "Prolonged Dry Seasons × Sandy Soil" Occurring in Nigeria As dry seasons lengthen and rainfall becomes unpredictable, limited irrigation is absorbed by sandy soil before reaching the root zone, making survival rates and growth unstable. Securing and efficiently utilizing agricultural water has become urgent. Even if the irrigation volume is increased, water escapes in sandy soil, leading only to soaring costs.● Scenarios where this becomes apparent: Overseas farmland and afforestation sites. Backed by the prolongation of dry seasons due to climate change.● Main impacts: Decrease in seedling survival rates, uneven growth, and deterioration of crop yields and afforestation success rates. Why Increasing Irrigation Does Not Solve the Problem: Dual Factors of Natural Elements and Soil Physical Properties In addition to natural factors (prolonged dry seasons and unpredictable rainfall), the water retention capability of sandy soil is low, making it impossible to retain water in the root zone.● Grounds for identification: Observations at local fields and control test data. Countermeasures Attempted So Far and Their Limits Increasing irrigation volume (limited by water costs and labor) and water-retaining mulch materials (washed away by wind and rain).Based on these limitations, we adopted the following approach as a more fundamental solution. Solution Approach: EF Polymer × Local Control Tests × Packaging of the Application Process Proposing a new material (biodegradable superabsorbent polymer) combined with collaboration between overseas bases and partner trading companies, and designing a root-zone water retention process based on local verification (control tests). STEP. 01 New Material Proposal Selecting EF Polymer (biodegradable superabsorbent polymer) STEP. 02 Local Control Tests Optimizing application and irrigation processes for each crop and soil condition STEP. 03 Leveraging Partner Networks Supplying locally through overseas bases and overseas partner trading companies Fuji Chemi Trading's Supply System: Headquarters × Overseas Bases / Overseas Partner Trading Companies × Partner Manufacturers This solution is established through a clear division of roles among multiple bases:・Headquarters / Sales: Project promotion and inquiry contact window・Overseas Bases / Overseas Partner Trading Companies: Local sales and distribution・Partner Manufacturers: EF Polymer supply and physical property data provision● Supply System: Verification in local fields → Packaging and supplying the application process. Results of Implementation Soil water retention capability is improved, stabilizing seedling survival and crop growth even with limited irrigation.● KPI Candidates: Improvement in survival rate / Growth volume per unit of irrigation / Crop yield / Afforestation success rate.● Implementation Lead Time: Phased operation from local verification to establishing the application process and formal implementation. Anticipated Ripple Effects and Horizontal Expansion The benefits of implementing this solution extend beyond solving the primary issues. Please utilize this as material for internal and management proposals.・Opportunities to participate in ODA and international organization (FAO, JICA, etc.) projects・Expansion into sectors other than agriculture (greening, turf, urban heat island countermeasures)・Since EF Polymer is biodegradable, it serves as a strong appeal for "plastic-free" and "prevention of soil contamination"・Brand enhancement through connection with climate change adaptation and SDGs (Goals 2, 6, 13, and 15) Differences from Competitors: Why Fuji Chemi Trading is Chosen Trading companies exporting polymers standalone have thin on-site verification know-how. Fuji Chemi can provide a one-stop service of "material supply + local control tests + application process design."
