Robert Brüll and Dr.-Ing. Andreas De Palmenaer concluded a pivotal meeting with Ayumu Mitera, CEO of Mitsufuji Corporation in Fukushima and Tokyo, where they signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate in building local production of AluCoat spinning technology in Fukushima. This partnership contributes to the efforts in rebuilding the economy in the aera of Fukushima with the support of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and ATLA (the Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency Japan Ministry of Defense 防衛装備庁)

 

Mitsufuji is a cutting-edge Japanese company revolutionizing the textile industry by blending advanced technology with smart fabrics, specializing in wearable IoT, medical, and shielding solutions. Both companies have a strong footprint in defense sector.

This collaboration paves the way to strengthen the Japanese defense supply lines for radar countermeasure chaff and expansion for further production capacities for other applications. Furthermore, it will support the introduction of Mitsufuji’s innovative materials in Germany.

 

We’re excited to embark on this journey together, setting up full-scale production lines in 2025 with a targeted capacity of 12 tons per month—laying the foundation for a powerful collaboration in conductive materials.
