In a groundbreaking partnership aimed at driving sustainable innovation in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry, LITEON+ and Elephantech Inc. from Japan have joined forces to revolutionize the production of backlit keyboards used in laptops from major brands. LITEON Technology, a global leader in technology solutions, is proud to announce its collaboration with Elephantech Inc., a Japanese startup renowned for its innovative Pure Additive method. This transformative partnership signifies a significant step forward in both companies' commitment to sustainability and technological advancement.
Elephantech's Pure Additive method utilizes inkjet technology to create low-carbon printed circuit boards, offering a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional manufacturing processes. By integrating Elephantech's cutting-edge technology into LITEON's production, we aim to not only enhance manufacturing efficiency but also reduce environmental impact significantly.
Commencing in 2024, LITEON+ adopts Elephantech's innovative technology in the production of backlit keyboards, initially targeting laptops from major brands such as Lenovo, Dell, and HP. This initiative reflects our dedication to delivering high-quality products while minimizing our ecological footprint. Furthermore, this collaboration extends beyond product development, as Elephantech plans to introduce its state-of-the-art printing equipment to LITEON's facilities, facilitating in-house production of low-carbon printed circuit boards. By embedding sustainability into our manufacturing processes, we are committed to driving positive change and shaping a more sustainable future for the ICT industry.
"We are excited to embark on this journey with Elephantech," said Roger Chen, Head of LITEON+ Startup Office. "Together, we aim to leverage their innovative technology to not only enhance our product offerings, but also lead the industry towards a more sustainable path."
Elephantech's CEO, Shinya Shimizu, emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating, "This partnership with LITEON+ represents a pivotal moment in our mission to make our technology the global standard. By integrating our innovative approach to printed circuit board manufacturing, we aim to address the environmental challenges associated with traditional methods."
Elephantech, founded in 2014 in Tokyo, Japan, is a green technology startup that has successfully utilized metal inkjet printing technology to achieve large-scale production of printed circuit boards (PBCs). This technology is crucial for the electronics industry to move towards low carbon emission and protect biodiversity. Elephantech aims to continue expanding the application of low-carbon PBC technology to contribute to environmental sustainability.
While exploring advanced technologies, LITEON remains committed to leaving a better environment for future generations. As early as 2019, LITEON set clear SBT carbon reduction targets, focusing on the SDGs of United Nations to control and reduce the environmental impact of our design and manufacturing processes. The integration of Elephantech’s advanced low-carbon printing technology into LITEON’s product designs met market expectations for environmental sustainability and successfully launched internationally, achieving a win-win outcome.
As we move forward, LITEON+ remains committed to driving innovation while prioritizing sustainability. By collaborating with forward-thinking partners like Elephantech, we are confident in our ability to create a more sustainable future for generations to come. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting collaboration as we continue to push the boundaries of sustainable technology together. 🌏💚
