What are printed circuit boards?
Printed circuit boards (PCBs), also known as electronic circuit boards, are essential components found in various electronic devices that support our daily lives. The role of a printed circuit board is to serve as a foundation for mounting components and to establish electrical connections between them, allowing the transmission of electrical signals.
To draw an analogy, a printed circuit board functions as the skeletal and nervous system of the human body, playing a crucial role as the core device in electrical products.
Printed circuit boards play a vital role in various applications, bridging our lives and shaping the future.

Quality and Environmental Management System
To ensure consistent quality across products manufactured in our various facilities around the world, an effective system that guarantees the same high level of quality is crucial. For this reason, our group has obtained certifications for internationally recognized standards such as ISO 9001, ISO/TS 16949 (IATF 16949) for the automotive industry, and ISO 14001 for environmental management systems. These international standards serve as the basis for our internal management systems, allowing us to efficiently and effectively implement quality and environmental management. We are committed to the seamless integration and continuous improvement of our quality and environmental management systems.
Efforts towards Enhanced Quality for Consistent Global Standards
We prioritize safety and assurance in delivering products to our customers by conducting reliability evaluations at a higher standard, taking into consideration how the products are used in the market and the warranty period for each product specification. For products that do not meet our reliability evaluation criteria, we thoroughly investigate the root causes and provide feedback to the manufacturing teams, aiming for continuous improvement in quality.
In the analysis of issues or defects, we have integrated various analytical tools and equipment within our company to efficiently and accurately identify causes and implement countermeasures. This knowledge is shared across the group to ensure consistent product quality and enhance our commitment to quality improvement.
