Toyo Ink Co., Ltd.
Toyo Ink Co., Ltd. (President and Representative Director: Katsumi Yamazaki; Chuo-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter the “Toyo Ink”) will feature next-generation printing solutions and top-quality printing materials for customers in its exhibit at the drupa 2012 international print media fair (drupa 2012) to be held in Düsseldorf, Germany, from May 3, 2012 to May 16, 2012.
Product Lineup for Exhibit
Based on the Group business concept adopted when the Group introduced a holding company last year—“Visible Science for Life: Contributing to Life through Science That Can Be Seen,” at the upcoming drupa 2012 the Toyo Ink will appeal to its customers in two ways: by differentiating the brand through its operations as a specialty chemical manufacturer, and by being a qualified partner in the next-generation printing market, aiming to enhance the newly reformed Toyo Ink’s visibility.
