Recently, Mimaki has expanded its business scope by launching a second brand, Mimaki La-Meccanica, to enter the printer and cutting plotter peripherals market and has intensified development in 3D printing as a new core business pillar. The company actively invests a portion of net sales into advancing semiconductor-related technologies and automation, facilitated through its subsidiary ALPHA DESIGN CO., LTD., which joined the Semiconductor Assembly Test Automation and Standardization (SATAS) initiative in 2024. Additionally, it acquired GRAPHIC CREATION Co., Ltd. and reorganized into a stock company, signifying strategic growth moves. Mimaki continues to innovate with new product launches, such as UV-curable inkjet printers capable of printing on novel industrial materials, and extends its footprint through ongoing global partnerships and product diversification aimed at enhancing print and cutting technology solutions worldwide. These strategic initiatives reflect a focus on expanding into high-growth sectors and reinforcing its global market presence.
