Overview of Takashima Co., Ltd. (2) Industrial Materials Segment The sales composition ratio is 19.0%, which is the business segment following the building materials segment. It is composed of two areas, "resin-related materials" and "fiber-related materials", and provides value to customers over a wide range from value chain design and manufacturing to processing and sales. The customers and functions provided by the segment vary depending on the field, and in addition to providing logistics materials (such as resin trays for parts transport) for automobile manufacturers and electric appliance manufacturers with buffering design within the company group, it is also engaged in the production of medical supplies, functional fibers for apparel, and apparel OEM production for government agencies. (a) Resin-related materials We handle a wide range of materials from synthetic resins to environmentally-friendly resins, and provide customers with manufactured parts packaging resin molding trays (for transportation during processes and shipping) and railway vehicle interior and exterior parts that leverage design and assembly composite processing with energy-saving and labor-saving keyword, as well as source and process materials and products with high functions such as heat resistance and high strength from domestic and overseas sources to contribute to product manufacturing tailored to customer needs. In addition, the group company Taksel Co., Ltd. is engaged in the manufacture and sale of resin-molded products. In recent years, we have been actively promoting investment in the field of medical supplies, in addition to general industrial products such as automobiles and electric appliances. (b) Fiber-related materials In addition to textile materials such as heavy fabrics (industrial fibers such as mixed synthetic cloth, decorative tents, and truck tarps) that are the company's original business, we also sell container bags and fiber products for the Ministry of Defense, and propose OEM production of apparel products for major domestic retailers. In addition, Highland Co., Ltd., a group company, develops, manufactures, and sells sewn and processed products, and C.L.S. Co., Ltd. handles domestic sales and imports and exports of various materials, such as bags, luggage, shoes, and gloves, using artificial leather and synthetic leather. (3) Electronic Device Segment The sales composition ratio is 16.4%. As iTak (International) Limited based in Hong Kong and the iTak group, we source and sell electronic components that meet customer needs mainly in Asia in the Device Business, and conduct assembly businesses where the iTak group itself performs substrate mounting (EMS) with those electronic components as a manufacturer. With 7 business locations (excluding liaison offices) and 2 self-owned factories (in Thailand and Vietnam), the iTak group locations work together strongly to actively operate as one business entity and cover major countries in Asia. One of the features of the iTak group is its ability to support product manufacturing globally from business locations close to the customer's development, production, and procurement bases. Under the "SustainaV (Value)" policy, we are investing in our own factories in Thailand and Vietnam to respond to the needs of customers who are looking for manufacturing bases as China Plus One. (a) Device We handle LCD displays for a wide range of applications from consumer products to automotive and industrial equipment, as well as audio parts (microphones, speakers, receivers, etc.), power electronics-related components such as semiconductors, capacitors, and relays (relays). We systematically source them from manufacturers mainly in Asia, and conduct systematic inventory management and part quality management, leveraging customer support capabilities. In addition, as mentioned above, we have established our own factory for producing LCDs in Vietnam and are strengthening our own manufacturing capabilities. (b) Assembly

(b) Assembly

Utilizing its Chonburi plant in Thailand, established in 2017, the company provides total support for manufacturing consignment businesses that perform substrate mounting (EMS), from design to mass production. Although it has a background as an electronic component trading company, it also has the function of a manufacturer, and has established a system that can provide competitive products as a “trading company + manufacturer”. By producing in its own factory in Thailand, the company contributes to the assembly of energy-saving and inverter appliances such as white goods.
