"Collaboration = co-laboring" activating each one's specialty is important. We have joint research and development with universities, institutions or enterprises in different fields. Thus, we are steadily marking good results in R&D for coatings for printed film and molding. For this purpose, it is essential to shorten the R&D leadtime. NBC is engaged in diverse activities related to the development of coating technologies, with an eye on joint research between the industry and academia, as well as making use of public institutions, toward the goal of developing world's first and unique advanced plastic coating technology.
