Partners

Techno Alpha is a Japanese trading company specialized in electronics, marine and environment, system integrator which has been running successfully its activity for 30 years.

Its traditional core business activities are related to manufacturing machines and materials for power and semi-conductors, electronics, photovoltaics and car industries. However over the past years Techno Alpha has also expanded its activities in the growing fields of printed sensors, printed electronics and flexible OLED displays.

Over years, Techno Alpha has established tight relationships with several European leaders in the printed electronics industry demonstrating both its expectations from this sector and its will to develop the printed electronics market between Japan and Europe.

In this context Techno Alpha naturally emerged as an important partner for GENESINK and has already been distributing our products in its wide network since 2015 allowing reaching Japanese brand electronics makers and universities.

As a distributor being in direct contact with functional ink users, Techno Alpha helped us to confirm the growing interest of Japanese electronics manufacturers regarding printed electronic technology.

Mino Group was established in 1946 in Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture right in the middle of Japan, as a mimeograph machine manufacturer. From then Mino Group started manufacturing screen printing squeegees, printers, drying ovens, decorative inks and mask making machines. Mino Group is the only maker manufacturing all needed equipment for performing screen printing, contributing on a unique way to the society.

Especially, on the field of flexible electronics, Mino Group has a solid achievements history providing its customers with printing machines but also with technical guidance and information regarding screen printing from mass production, such as roll-to-roll printing, to prototyping and research and development.

In the past few years, Mino Group started promoting techniques of optimization and standardization for the practice of high quality screen printing. As a very first step, Mino Group recommended the high printing durability urethane squeegee (Mino Plain Yellow) and the related high quality polisher which are now used in Japan and East Asia by many companies.

Mino Group now collaborates with GENESINK to support and accelerate the commercialization of flexible printed electronics products using silver nanoinks for screen printing. In addition to evaluate GENESINK silver nano-inks in their screen printing laboratories, Mino Group also teach to customers how to use those advanced inks in high quality screen printing processes.

NexTex Ventures, LLC provides innovative solutions to high-tech companies that need the latest advanced technology to improve their high-tech products from semiconductor to solar to biomedical applications to printed electronics. NTV locates these innovative new high-tech products from around the globe and connects them with end users in North America via a network of experienced and motivated technical representatives.

Fineline stencil chemistry .

The miniaturisation of functional prints, for example in electronics, place very high demands on the screen printing stencil. So that the resolution of such fine lines not only occurs in the stencil, but is also able to subsequently function in print, all the stencil production parameters must be perfectly coordinated with each other.

The stencil chemistry used plays a decisive role in the first place. For this application, Kissel + Wolf offers a comprehensive system dedicated to fine lines screen printing.

GENESINK Smart inks perfectly match with Kiwo stencils products to provide the best resolution possible on your conductive traces.

The aim of Asada Mesh, it has been set to the development of Precision Screens with Higher Resolution for the Electronics Industries.

It counts with two production sites to cover domestic and overseas demand. A Center of Screen Printing Excellence, in Kagoshima (Japan) is fully equipped to assist customers worldwide. A Business Office targets at Printed Electronics in European Markets.

“Through our policy of mastering matured technology to extremes, penetrating it and driving the developing industry with our ultrafine weaving technology, Asada Mesh would like to contribute to the future of Printed Electronics.” by President Asada, Hideaki

Some of the finest resolutions made with GENESINK inks (down to 30µm) were printed using ASADA mesh.

Carpe Diem Technologies provides the means to pattern 2D or 3D electronic and optical devices, in many materials, including GenesInk, on flexible substrates, at high volume and low cost.
