In response to the risks of rising domestic PET film prices and supply chain factors, we offer a combined package of new overseas PET film sourcing and domestic slitting services for power cable manufacturers seeking both cost improvement and stable supply. With our three-pronged advantage of "Equivalent Quality × Cost Reduction × Domestic Support," we contribute to maintaining the competitiveness of your cable selling prices. Deteriorating Cost-to-Sales Ratio of Power Cables and Demands for "Equivalent Quality × Cost Reduction" The goal is to reduce the procurement cost of PET film for power cables, while maintaining quality equivalent to conventional products.Domestic products offer stability but come at a high price. Overseas products feature attractive pricing but raise concerns regarding quality and logistics.●Scenarios where this becomes apparent: Continuous cost structure review phases. Initiated by proposals from Fuji Chemi.●Main impacts: Deterioration of the cost-to-sales ratio, decline in cable selling price competitiveness. Why Domestic Price Renegotiations Have Reached Their Limit: Price Increases and Supply Chain Factors Rising prices of domestic PET film and supply chain factors (extended lead times).●Specific Rationale: Prototype evaluation of overseas PET candidates, demand volume estimations. Measures Tried So Far and Their Limitations Price renegotiations for domestic products (limited impact), consideration of direct import of overseas PET (burden of customs clearance and slitting processes).Based on these limitations, we adopted the following approach as a more fundamental solution. Solution Approach: New Overseas Supplier Sourcing × Domestic Stock × Slitting Process By sourcing from new overseas manufacturers and combining it with domestic inventory + slitting processing, we maintain the same delivery conditions for customers as conventional products. STEP. 01 Overseas Supplier Sourcing Discovering overseas PET that matches required physical properties STEP. 02 Domestic Stock Holding buffer stock at the Mito Processing Center STEP. 03 Slitting Process Short lead time supply at customer-specified widths Fuji Chemi Trading's Supply System: Headquarters × Mito Processing Center × Overseas Manufacturers This solution is established through the division of roles across multiple locations.・Headquarters / Domestic Sales: Customer contact window and cost proposals・Mito Processing Center: Acceptance inspection, slitting, and inventory management・Overseas Bases / Manufacturers: Import of master rollsSupply system: Immediate delivery with customer-specified slitting from domestic stock. Results Achieved Through Implementation Replicating equivalent quality even with overseas products. Simultaneously providing cost reduction, inventory, and slitting services.●KPI Candidates: Procurement cost reduction / Maintaining zero quality complaints / Inventory reduction on the customer side.●Implementation Lead Time: Gradual transition from demand confirmation to prototyping, and then to mass production switching. Expected Ripple Effects and Horizontal Rollout The effects of implementing this solution extend beyond solving the primary challenge. Please also utilize this as material for internal and management-level proposals.・Horizontal rollout to other PET applications in the wire and insulation fields (battery separators, tapes, laminates)・Proposing alternatives for global raw material procurement by leveraging overseas sourcing expertise・Can also be used as a price negotiation tool with domestic suppliers・Expansion into "multi-sourcing" proposals from a BCP perspective Difference from Competitors: Why Fuji Chemi Trading is Chosen Unlike general trading companies that only perform direct import of overseas PET, Fuji Chemi combines it with "domestic slitting and inventory support," enabling both mass production quality maintenance and short delivery times.

Adoption of Chinese-made PI Tape for Heat-Resistant Process Film | Cost Optimization via Just-Spec Specifications

While domestic high-spec PI tapes offer more than adequate performance, they are often over-engineered for specific applications. By selecting a "just-spec" grade from a Chinese manufacturer that perfectly matches the application's needs, and verifying its quality through our Shanghai base, we achieved both cost reduction and quality maintenance. Deterioration of the Cost-of-Sales Ratio for Heat-Resistant Process PI Tapes and the Necessity of "Just-Spec" Optimization Cost reduction is required for PI tapes used in heat-resistant processes. However, since high-spec options are excessive for this application, the goal is to select an appropriate grade.Previously, domestic high-spec PI tape was adopted, but it was over-engineered for the specific application.●Context of emergence: Cost improvement phase.●Primary impacts: Deterioration of the cost-of-sales ratio, decline in price competitiveness. Why High-Spec Products are Excessive: The Gap Between Actual Application Requirements and Specifications Continued adoption of high-spec products serves as a cost-up factor. For actual applications, an acceptable/usable level is more than sufficient.●Specific evidence: Physical property comparison of existing materials and processing tests. Countermeasures Attempted So Far and Their Limitations Price reduction negotiations for domestic high-spec products (reached limits), and substitution with alternative films (insufficient heat resistance).Based on these limitations, we adopted the following approach as a more drastic/fundamental solution. Solution Approach: Application-Specific Grade Design × New Chinese Supplier Development × Quality Verification via Shanghai Base Through the development of new foreign suppliers + collaboration with overseas bases, we adopted PI tape with cost suitability that perfectly matches the application. STEP. 01 Supplier Development Evaluating multiple Chinese-made PI tapes STEP. 02 Downgrading Proposals Setting necessary and sufficient specifications for the application STEP. 03 Local Collaboration Quality verification and local procurement via Shanghai Base Fujichemi Trading's Supply System: Head Office × Shanghai Base This solution is achieved through the division of roles across multiple bases.・ Head Office / Domestic Sales: Customer window and cost proposals・ Shanghai Base: Local manufacturer coordination and quality verification●Supply System: Stable supply of overseas procured products. Results of Implementation Achieved cost reduction. Specifications maintained at an acceptable/usable level while preserving quality.●KPI Candidates: Cost reduction / Maintaining zero quality complaints / Diversification of procurement routes.●Implementation Lead Time: Repeating prototyping and evaluation to switch to mass production. Anticipated Ripple Effects and Horizontal Deployment The effects of implementing this solution extend beyond solving the primary issue. Please utilize this as material for internal and management-level proposals.・Applying the same "application-specific grade design" to films for other processes (PET, PEN, PPS)・Modeling the "optimized selection proposal" in the electric wire and electronic component sectors・Breaking out of sales commoditization through switching proposals from "high-spec to just-spec"・Creating a case study of being adopted in the customer's internal cost reduction projects Difference from Competitors: Why Fuji Chemi Trading is Chosen Domestic specialized trading companies tend to offer only a single high-spec proposal.

Local Procurement of Motorcycle Key Management Sheets in Vietnam | Balancing Quality, Cost, and Lead Time with PS Sheets + Die-Cutting

In conjunction with the startup of mass production in Vietnam, the customer wanted to transition from importing PS sheets from Japan to stable local procurement. We sourced and newly developed alternative global materials that met the required physical properties, and implemented a seamless, end-to-end process up to die-cutting into barcode label shapes at our Vietnam base. This successfully achieved both cost reduction and shorter lead times compared to importing. The "Limitations of Importing Japanese Goods" That Surfaced with the Mass Production Startup in Vietnam The customer wanted to stably procure PS sheets used as a barcode printing base material locally. When importing from Japan, tariffs, logistics costs, and lead times became major bottlenecks.While the local materials needed to satisfy the quality requirements, the framework to integrate them into local logistics was not yet established.●Context of Occurrence: Overseas expansion and local procurement phases. Vietnam production base startup / stabilization of mass production.●Main Impacts: Inflation of import costs, failure to meet localization targets, and falling behind local competitors in price competition. Why Localization Stalls: Local Suppliers' Quality Variance and Dependency on Japan Quality variance among local suppliers / Prolonged procurement lead times due to dependency on Japanese products.●Specific Basis: Conducted quality and cost hearings via our Vietnam base, and performed physical property comparisons of local candidate products. Countermeasures Attempted So Far and Their Limitations Diverting local off-the-shelf products (Rejected due to poor print durability); Continuing to import Japanese products (Failed to meet cost targets).Based on these limitations, the following approach was adopted as a more radical and decisive solution.

WAQUA Compact Seawater Desalination System | Securing Domestic Water for Disaster BCP, Fishing Industries, and Civil Engineering Sites

To meet the strong demand to "secure water" in disaster situations, fishing, civil engineering/construction sites, and outdoor activities, we propose our compact and lightweight seawater and river water desalination systems. We have established a system to globally supply these Japan-quality devices through our three ASEAN bases and international partner networks. The Urgent Challenge of "Securing Water" at Disaster, Fishing, and Civil Engineering Sites During fishing and civil engineering/construction operations, or in times of disaster, the supply of domestic and operational water becomes critically tight. Conventional water generation systems are large, heavy, and inefficient, making them unsuitable for on-site operations.Balancing a compact, lightweight design with high water-generation capacity is a key technical challenge.●Situations where the issue surfaces: The need for improvement in existing products; social backgrounds marked by frequent disasters and water resource scarcity.●Main impacts: Suspension of on-site operations, shortage of domestic water at evacuation centers, and operational constraints in fishing and on remote islands. Why Conventional Systems Fail: The Barriers of Bulkiness, Heavy Weight, and Low Efficiency Conventional systems have failed to balance a compact, lightweight design with high water-generation capacity, largely due to constraints in equipment specifications and dimensions.●Specific evidence: Analysis of existing products.

Reducing Production Line Stoppage Risks with Local Inventory in Thailand for Automotive Parts | Supplying Molding Resin and Rubber via a BCP Scheme

Seeking to minimize production line stoppage risks at local factories in Thailand? By maintaining local inventory of molding resins and rubber at our Thailand base, we significantly reduce supply chain risks associated with overseas production transfer. We roll this out as a standard scheme from a BCP perspective for Tier 1 to Tier 3 automotive parts manufacturers. "Line Stoppage Risks" Becoming Apparent at Thailand Automotive Parts Sites The goal is to achieve a stable supply overseas (Thailand). Production stoppage risks are becoming apparent due to supply chain factors associated with overseas transfer and local production.On-site interviews revealed that raw material supply disruption is the maximum risk.●Scenarios where this becomes apparent: Existing product improvement + overseas local procurement phases.●Main impacts: Extended import lead times, production line stoppage risks, and the demand to balance both function/performance maintenance and delivery times. Why Stoppage Risks Remain: Import Lead Times and Changing Conditions in Overseas Transfer Procurement and supply chain factors (extended lead times, build-to-order products, etc.), and changes in conditions associated with overseas transfer.●Specific Rationale: On-site interviews, actual import lead time records. Measures Tried So Far and Their Limitations Just-in-time importing faces issues such as ocean freight delays. Proposals for local alternative materials failed to achieve the required physical properties.Based on these limitations, we adopted the following approach as a more fundamental solution. Solution Approach: Thailand Local Stock × Global Division of Roles × BCP Buffer Building a local inventory scheme in cooperation with overseas bases. STEP. 01 Local Stock Storing the required quantity at our Thailand base STEP. 02 Global Division of Roles Securing materials stably on the Japan side. Handling local delivery and information gathering at the Thailand base. Fuji Chemi Trading's Supply System: Headquarters × Thailand Base This solution is established through the division of roles across multiple locations.・Headquarters / Domestic Sales: Stable securing of materials.・Thailand Base: Local inventory, local customs clearance, local delivery, and information gathering.・Supply System: Stable supply to the production line via local storage. Results Achieved Through Implementation Improving delivery times and supply stability, ensuring smooth overseas expansion. Significantly mitigating production line stoppage risks.●KPI Candidates: Zero line stoppage incidents / Shortened delivery lead times / Optimized inventory rotation.●Implementation Lead Time: Gradual transition up to the launch of the inventory scheme. Expected Ripple Effects and Horizontal Rollout The effects of implementing this solution extend beyond solving the primary challenge. Please also utilize this as material for internal and management-level proposals.・Proposing local inventory schemes for auxiliary materials other than molding resins (adhesives, release agents, cleaning agents, etc.)・Expanding the same scheme from Thailand to Vietnam, Indonesia, and India・Proposing "Global Inventory Strategy" themes to customer headquarters procurement departments Difference from Competitors: Why Fuji Chemi Trading is Chosen Competitors without a local subsidiary cannot handle customs clearance or local inventory.

Local Procurement of Product Transportation Protection Sheets in Vietnam | Direct Delivery to the Line via Adhesive Tape and Slitting Process

In parallel with the launch of mass production for a new product, the client wanted to secure protection sheets locally to prevent scratches during transportation—We selected an adhesive tape optimized for adhesive strength, peelability, and weather resistance, and performed slitting processes at our Vietnam base. This achieved a stable supply synchronized with the launch of the new product. "Shortage in Local Procurement of Protection Sheets" That Emerged with the New Product Launch The client wanted to secure protection sheets locally to prevent scratches during new product transportation. It was necessary to establish a stable procurement route in parallel with new product development.They were unable to find a tape with the suitable adhesive strength and peelability locally.●Emerging Situation: New product development phase. Pre-mass production preparation at the Vietnam production base.●Main Impact: Risk of delay in new product launch, falling behind local competitors due to unestablished supply chain. Why It Cannot Be Secured Locally: Mismatch Between Required Physical Properties for Adhesive Strength and Peelability, and Local Standard Commercial Products Requirements for adhesive strength, weather resistance, and peelability are high, and local standard commercial products lack the necessary physical properties. The supply chain is unestablished.●Specific Basis: Quality and cost hearings, and verification of the physical properties of local candidate tapes. Countermeasures Tried So Far and Their Limitations Adopting local standard commercial tapes (residue adhesive, poor peeling), air transportation from the Japanese headquarters (unacceptable cost and lead time). Based on these limitations, the following approach was adopted as a more radical measure. Solution Approach: New Adhesive Tape Proposal × Vietnam Local Slitting × Local Stock Optimized to the required shape through a new adhesive tape proposal + local slitting processing. STEP. 01 New Material Proposal Selecting tape with weather resistance, low contamination, and peeling characteristics STEP. 02 Local Slitting Cutting in Vietnam to match the dimensions of the jig STEP. 03 Local Stock Vietnam storage and shipping tracking mass production fluctuations Fuji Chemi Trading's Provision System: Vietnam Base × Cooperating Manufacturers This solution is established through the division of roles across multiple bases.・Vietnam Base: Raw roll stock, slitting, local delivery・Cooperating Manufacturers: Adhesive tape supply●Supply System: Immediate delivery via local slitting, multiple SKUs can be managed by product type specification. Results of Implementation In conjunction with the new product launch, delivery time and supply stability improved. Achieved three points simultaneously: cost, local production, and inventory responsiveness.●KPI Candidates: Improvement of local procurement ratio / Zero stockouts during new product launch / Reduction of logistics costs.●Implementation Lead Time: Synchronized with the development schedule from sample evaluation to mass production launch. Expected Ripple Effects and Horizontal Expansion The effects of implementing this solution are not limited to solving the main issue. Please also utilize it as material for internal proposals and executive-level presentations.・Horizontal expansion to product transportation, parts transportation, and in-container protection・Protection film proposals for other processes (painting masking, assembly protection)・Ripple effect on cushioning materials and anti-rust materials through adhesive variation expansion・Creating a story for developing new local manufacturers Difference from Competitors: Why Fuji Chemi Trading Is Chosen Local tape trading companies have variations in physical properties and lack of SKUs. Fuji Chemi can provide a hybrid proposal of "local procurement with Japanese specifications."
