Competitive Advantages
Asanuma Corporation has always progressed in line with its R&D.
We push forward with speedy R&D so as to meet customer needs swiftly and propose new types of products ahead of time. We place a particularly strong emphasis on core technologies, which are the foundation of product development. This often involves designing the formula and the container together, as a single project, as they are inseparably linked. The following is an introduction to some of our leading technologies.
1 Nano-order color dispersion technology (Eyeliner, mascara, and other liquid products)
Asanuma’ s dispersion technology reduces pigment down to the nano-order, retaining its original color and long-term stability. We combine this with containers developed in-house and new film formers jointly developed with customer manufacturers to create new products with improved functions.
2 Injection molding technology (Foundation, eye shadow, and other powder products)
Asanuma uses a new wet process injection molding technique to develop complex designs such as multicolor, straight line, or curving line products. The filling device we developed in-house can be programmed to control the injection volume and movement time of several nozzles tips simultaneously.
Asanuma also uses injection core molding technology (for twist-out pencil-type products) and toning technology (for glittery and pearly products). In recent years we have been focusing on the development of concept products (preservative free) as well as concept materials (organic).
