For customers seeking a stable supply of FEP film and PFA film<\/a>, we offer a combined solution of various thickness variations and in-house slitting services. In addition to semiconductor and release applications, we are also expanding horizontally into VAT films for 3D printers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rising Demands for “Stable Supply and Quality” in the Fluoropolymer Film Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We want to ensure a stable supply of FEP film \/ PFA film<\/a>. Expanding the lineup while guaranteeing Japanese quality is required. There have been concerns over the supply and quality of overseas products. Improved transparency in fluoropolymer films has been demanded.
\u25cfSituations where this arises:<\/strong> Timings involving new product development, improvements to existing products, or dealing with defect complaints.
\u25cfMain impacts:<\/strong> Concerns over production line shutdowns due to supply instability, and a decrease in yield rate due to quality variations in overseas products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Existing Supply Chains Fall Short: Processing Constraints, Supply Stability, and Overseas Relocation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Insufficient Procurement and Supply Stability
\u25cfSpecific Basis\/Evidence:<\/strong> Interviews and hearing at the shop floor on the quality and supply status of existing overseas products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously Attempted Measures and Their Limitations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trialing other overseas products (resulting in quality variations).
As a more radical\/fundamental solution, we adopted the following approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution Approach: In-House Inventory \u00d7 In-House Slitting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Improving lead times and meeting customer requirements through in-house inventory and in-house slitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

STEP. 01<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In-House Inventory<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Purchasing master rolls directly from manufacturers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

STEP. 02<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In-House Slitting<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Providing small-roll products down to 1-meter units, as well as custom widths specified by customers other than the standard master roll width.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

FUJICHEMI TRADING\u2019s Supply System: Headquarters \u00d7 Mito Processing Center \u00d7 Partner Manufacturing Factories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This solution is achieved through a clear division of roles across multiple bases.
\u2022 Headquarters \/ Domestic Sales: Customer window and communication
\u2022 Mito Processing Center<\/a>: Slitting, die-cutting, and parallel processing of multiple samples
\u25cfSupply System:<\/strong> Capable of providing end-to-end support for master roll sales, small-batch repackaging, slitting, and die-cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results and Achievements from Implementation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Achieved cost optimization through an expanded lineup of FEP films, and successfully proposed high-quality product solutions using PFA films. Improved functions\/performance, stabilized quality, and enhanced lead times\/supply stability.
\u25cfKPI Candidates:<\/strong> Increased number of proposed samples \/ Small-lot compatibility.
\u25cfImplementation Lead Time:<\/strong> Provision of multiple samples with short lead times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expected Ripple Effects and Horizontal Expansion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The implementation effects of this solution go beyond solving the primary issue. Please also leverage them as material for internal proposals or presentations to executive management.
\u2022 Horizontal expansion into semiconductor, release agent, and chemical-related applications
\u2022 Creating inquiries for other fluoropolymer-related products (tubes, coatings) triggered by the fluoropolymer film<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Differentiators: Why FUJICHEMI TRADING is the Preferred Choice Over Competitors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many fluoropolymer film trading companies focus primarily on selling master rolls. FUJICHEMI provides a one-stop solution covering “master rolls + small-batch repackaging + slitting + die-cutting.”<\/strong> Our proposal speed and communication quality are also highly evaluated points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
