Quantum14 Corp., founded in Dec. 2002, is a spin-out company dedicated to develop and commercialize “Porous Silicon” technology which is generated with the academic research of Koshida laboratory of the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology. Porous Silicon technology is based on the anodization technique for creating porous silicon with prescribed pore sizes ranging from nanometer to macroscopic scales.
Quantum14 's objective is to develop a series of products from its platform technology. The Porous Silicon technology is finding new application fields extending from novel electron-emitter applications for flat-panel displays to biochip applications for DNA sequencing.

Quantum14 has been a leader of commercializing the Porous Silicon technology. We have established relationships with some of the major electronics companies including Matsushita Electric Works, Hitachi, etc. We have also built alliances with National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and Nagoya University. We will further seek new alliances with some of the top leaders in the medical device & bio industries around the globe where our complimentary strengths can create enhanced value.

Nanophoton is a nanotechnology venture company for commercializing the state-of-the-art scientific instruments that utilize light, and providing these to a worldwide market. Nanophoton will not produce existing or derivative instruments, but instead, produce novel and innovative tools for research and development. Our founders desire is to keep position as the most advanced technology provider and continuously contribute to society with novel nano-technology and innovative nano-photonics products.

Why we founded Nanophoton?
To produce the world best microscope and market it worldwide!
Microscopes have been widely and commonly used as useful research tools among worldwide researchers and engineers since it was invented. Every new technique for microscopy has contributed and will contribute to new discoveries and/or new inventions. However, there are not so many manufacturers providing the leading-edge microscopes in the world. We therefore, established Nanophoton to be one of a few manufacturers to launch out the latest technology microscopes into the worldwide market. Even a small company can produce innovative products by adopting the cutting-edge technologies developed by universities' research laboratories. Osaka University where Nanophoton is located is one of the most advanced ones for microscopy. Our aim is to provide the best microscopes well appreciated by worldwide researchers.

Long description

Kuraray was founded in 1926 for the purpose of commercializing rayon, in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, as Kurashiki Kenshoku Co.

In the 1950s, Kuraray became the first firm in the world to commercialize vinylon fibers and textiles, and synthetic fibers and textiles replaced arboreous cotton in student uniforms within a generation.

In the 1960s Kuraray used outside technology to commercialize polyester staple fiber, and independently developed and marketed the synthetic leather CLARINO. In addition, Kuraray was the first Japanese company to commence full-scale exports of plant to China, before the normalization of diplomatic ties.

Kuraray established a series of new businesses in the 1970s. These included contact lens, artificial organ, dental materials, and other medical businesses, the gas barrier resin EVAL, and a non-woven fabric business (through a joint venture with an overseas concern).

In the 1980s, Kuraray established a joint venture in the U.S. to manufacture and market EVAL. This represented a foothold in overseas business development.

In the 1990s, Kuraray established EVAL and poval resin manufacturing facilities in Belgium and Singapore, respectively. The Company recently acquired a poval-related business portfolio in Germany, and commenced the production of SEPTON in the U.S. The development of important businesses overseas is accelerating.

Hakuto was founded in November 1953, originally as a trading company who deals with import and re-sale of the crystal ore.

Our name is a combination of two Chinese characters, "Haku" and "To". "Haku" comes from an initial Chinese character of Brazil, a major export country of the crystal ore at that time. "To" comes from an initial Chinese character of Tokyo.

By this name, we expressed our passionate desire and ambition at that time to become an international trading company in future through our initial efforts to promote the business between Brazil and Japan.
