Meiko Marks 40-year History since its Foundation
January 22, 2016 | MeikoEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Meiko reached its 40th anniversary in November 2015 with the launch of activities to design patterns and manufacture through-hole substrates.
The Company’s headquarters have been located in Ayase City, Kanagawa Prefecture since its foundation, and the business commenced there at a small factory built by renovating a hen-house with an area of about 9 tsubo (about 30 square meters).
Forty years ago when game machines using microcomputers became popular in Japan, the Company was engaged in manufacturing substrates to meet customer needs, and achieved rapid growth. In subsequent years, under a customer-centric principle, the Company undertook the manufacture of multilayer substrates having functional features at a time when demand for home-use televisions and mobile phones was high, while focusing on the manufacture of build-up substrates with a high-density wiring capability as markets faced strong demand for personal computers and smartphones.
With its listing on JASDAQ in December 2000, the Company developed its businesses with the focus on global operations. First, it constructed a mass-production plant in Guangzhou, China, and formulated a production structure capable of handling customer orders for mass production. Following the move into China, the Company successfully entered Vietnam and built a succession of new factories, achieving business expansion. As a consequence, the Company currently operates four production bases in Japan (Kanagawa, Fukushima, Yamagata, and Ishinomaki), which are tailored for quick-turn prototype products and flexible production, while having established global production structures at four manufacturing bases overseas (Guangzhou, Wuhan, Vietnam, and Thang Long), which are for mass production. Consequently, we have been operating business internationally with business partners both in Japan and overseas.
