Our Marketing and Technology Development Division is always working hard to develop new base materials and technologies, innovative information technologies, and other outstanding techniques and products unique to Sankyo Tateyama Aluminium. As a result, we have developed high-quality products, unparalleled technologies and increasingly efficient systems. These allow us to respond to needs that are evermore sophisticated and diversified needs while identifying new needs, and to lay a foundation for advancing into new fields.
Sankyo Tateyama Aluminium aims to create safe and comfortable living spaces and lifestyles for people by proposing products that are long-favored and provide lasting satisfaction for customers. We strive to develop products that harmonize with the environment and that contribute to the future development of people and society.
We will develop environmentally conscious products based on the following four basic concepts: 1) energy savings, 2) resource savings, 3) effective use of resources, and 4) environmental preservation. In the product planning and design stages, we work to minimize environmental impacts throughout the product lifecycle, ranging from material selection, product manufacturing, distribution and use, to product demolition and disposal.
Our business deals with sashes, doors, curtain walls and other products used for office and apartment buildings. While promoting integrated marketing, from product planning to sales, we develop and design not only products that satisfy customer needs, but also environmentally conscious products that help save energy and reduce CO2 emissions (e.g., products with temperature-control functions to harness natural energy, standardized products that can be fitted with double-layer glass, and products made of plastic).
We perform product assessments on all newly-developed products, using a checklist, as we advance product development with the greatest focus placed on living environments for our principal group of housing fixture products, which includes sashes, front doors, sliding doors and other interior fixtures. We also work to make sure our products are easy to use and will result in a sense of satisfaction on the part of the customer. Not only will we work to improve those levels in the future, we will also continue to advance the developments of fixtures that make living environments even more comfortable.
In this division, careful attention is paid to products, reviewing them against a complex checklist. Exterior products include both those which can be used on their own, for which ease-of-use is a given, and our development efforts proceed while considering durability and an ability to blend in with existing neighborhood environments as well.
Our highly durable compound membrane, HD Coat, which combines superior design-sense with superior functionality, reducing surface coating deterioration and scratching, is a surface coating treatment developed uniquely by Sankyo Tateyama Aluminium by increasing the bond strength among resin molecules in coatings applied to aluminum building materials.
HD Coat increases the durability of building materials exposed to natural environmental factors, including sunlight, ultraviolet radiation and heat, with improved resistance to weathering, erosion and surface damage, maintaining the beautiful surface properties of aluminum materials for longer, and thereby maintaining the design-sense and functionality of building materials.
