Technology and production facilities

Deformed Extrusion Molding Technology

This is FUKUVI's most specialized molding method, and we have multiple production lines at our head office and Sakai Plant.
By pressurizing heated molten resin and extruding it in various shapes through a die, we take advantage of the feature of continuously discharging products of the same shape, and manufacture products that can be cut at any desired length. Integrated manufacturing is possible, from material formulation that matches the characteristics to mold design and manufacturing, and we can handle a wide range of molding from single composition to heterogeneous multi-layer molding.

• Manufacturing bases: Head office plant, Sakai plant

• Products: Facades, Interior Sheathing Materials, Decking Materials, Louver Materials, UB Frames, Bath Panels, Alparage, Inspection Port Frames, etc.

facility

Aluminum Forming Processing Technology

This is a processing technology for forming aluminum alloy sheets into specified shapes and dimensions, and is capable of forming complex cross-sections and manufacturing long members.
By injecting liquid urethane into the formed aluminum sheet and foaming it, we produce panel materials with nonflammability and heat insulation properties, which are used for ceilings, walls, and other applications.

• Manufacturing base: Head office factory

• Products: Semi-Noncombustible Bath Panels, Multi-Spans, etc.

facility

Transparent Thin Film Coating Technology

This is a manufacturing facility for resin panels (HARZLAS) coated with a transparent, high-hardness, low reflection thin film and a facility for analyzing the film characteristics.
FUKUVI mainly manufactures antireflection panels using a special wet coating method developed independently by FUKUVI. In addition, anti-glare panels and glass anti-reflection panels can also be manufactured.

• Manufacturing base: Sakai Plant

• Product: HARZLAS AR (transparent, high-hardness, low-reflective resin panel)

facility

Pour Molding Technology

We manufacture acrylic decorative laminates and other products by pouring liquid resin into a mold and applying heat and pressure to cure it. We also manufacture translucent acrylic decorative laminates and artificial marble with an artificial marble-like texture by mixing inorganic materials with the resin and polymerizing it.

• Manufacturing base: Sakai Plant

• Products: Kenjoule, Half Clear, etc.

facility

Ceramics Deformed Molding Technology

We use non-metallic raw materials such as clay, silica sand, and limestone to extrude nonflammable and complex shapes through the use of inorganic materials.
Utilizing mold technology and extrusion know-how cultivated in resin extrusion, we manufacture deformed extruded products such as entram entrance columns, balcony shade trees and protruding corner materials with non-flat or R (curved) backsides, which other companies have difficulty handling.

• Manufacturing base: Sakai Plant

• Products: Nonflammable R-corner, Solid Line, Eclat Decorative Columns, etc.

facility

Coating and Foam Forming Technology

We manufacture foamed resin floor sheets called cushion floors by coating a 1,900 mm wide base fabric sheet with resin continuously and uniformly and foaming it. We also have a production line that impregnates (dips) the base fabric sheet with resin, making it possible to form sheets with various functional blends (water repellent, hydrophilic, antibacterial, deodorizing, water absorbing, etc.)."

• Manufacturing base: Mikata Plant

• Products: Ankara, Cushion Floors, Underlay Sheets, etc.

facility

Phenolic Foam Molding Technology

Our proprietary technology produces insulation with high insulation performance with little degradation over time by foaming phenolic resin, which is "thermally" and "chemically" stable, and sealing high-insulation gas in the microscopic bubbles.

• Manufacturing site: FUKUVI Okayama Corporation factory (group company)

• Products: Phenova Board, Phenova Board R, etc.

facility

Off-Line Processing Technology

We use wrapping processing technology to laminate decorative sheets printed with wood grain, etc. onto base materials such as aluminum, resin, and MDF. Our advanced laminating technology makes it possible to achieve the texture of natural wood grain. We also have the technology to handle a variety of shapes, base materials, and designs.

• Manufacturing base: FUKUVI Housing Corporation factory (group company)

• Products: Molding Materials, etc.

facility

Processing Technology for Large Injection Molded Products

We perform assembly processes such as cutting, drilling, and machining and attaching accessory parts to injection-molded large plastic and aluminum materials. We supply cooler ducts, aluminum racks, etc. used in large vehicle interiors to vehicle manufacturers as assembly parts with JIT.

• Manufacturing base: Gifu processing center

• Products: Vehicle components

facility

FRP Molding Technology, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composite Technology

Using "Fiber Reinforced Plastics," which are lightweight, deformation-resistant plastics mixed with reinforcing materials, we manufacture FRP components for unit baths, nursing bathtubs, large vehicles, and ships. The New Technology Development Department also manufactures and develops products using carbon fiber reinforced composite materials (CFRP and CFRTP).
