Mitsufuji Corporation has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with FibreCoat GmbH, a start-up based in #Aachen, to collaborate in building local production of AluCoat spinning technology in Fukushima.

FibreCoat has developed high-strength, lightweight and recyclable aluminum-coated fibers that are to be used for various applications, including radar countermeasure products such as Chaff, EMI/EMC shielding and EMP shielding.

This partnership contributes to the efforts in rebuilding the economy in the aera of Fukushima under the support of METI and ATLA, and paves the way to strengthen the Japanese defense supply lines for radar countermeasure chaff and expansion for further production capacities for civil applications as well.

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.
