Innovation for CASE era

In the automotive industry, the advancement of CASE is accelerating. In response to this trend, we have been the first in the world to develop a wide range of high-performance glass. Low-e Glass and Smart Glazing reduce the need to use air conditioning and extend the range of EVs due to their high heat-insulating performance. Laminated Acoustic Glass improves quietness and comfort inside EVs.
