Voices of the Industry Features Elephantech’s Satoshi Konagai on the Future of Sustainable PCB Manufacturing
November 17, 2025 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
I-Connect007 is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode in its acclaimed podcast series, Voices of the Industry. In this episode, host Marcy LaRont speaks with Satoshi Konagai, Executive Officer and Head of Marketing of Elephantech, about the company’s groundbreaking additive manufacturing technology that’s reshaping the printed circuit board (PCB) industry.
Elephantech is leading a new era in electronics manufacturing through its proprietary additive process. This innovation replaces traditional subtractive methods, which are known for consuming large amounts of copper and chemicals. By drastically reducing material waste and energy use, this approach offers a more sustainable, efficient, and environmentally responsible path forward for PCB production, all while maintaining the precision and performance demanded by today’s advanced electronics.
Throughout the conversation, Konagai explains how Elephantech’s technology not only minimizes environmental impact but also redefines what’s possible in quality and efficiency, proving that sustainability and high performance can coexist. With a clear mission to transform global electronics manufacturing, Elephantech is setting a new standard for innovation, responsibility, and environmental stewardship. “Elephantech’s work is a compelling example of how cutting-edge technology can drive both progress and sustainability,” said host Marcy LaRont. “Their story is one of innovation with purpose. It is something our listeners across the manufacturing world will find inspiring.”
This exclusive conversation is available now on Voices of the Industry, part of the I-Connect007 podcast network. Tune in to hear how Elephantech is helping shape the future of electronics manufacturing.
