Toward the Creation of New Business

新事業の創出に向けて

While focusing on the commercialization of all-solid-state batteries, we will create new business themes based on customer challenges by leveraging group synergies

Maxell Medium-Term Management Plan MEX26 policies

The New Business Producing Division has set our sights on the feature to be realized in 2030. In order to achieve this, the basic policy of MEX26 is to promote early development and commercialization of themes that solve customer issues, as well as the creation of new development themes through lean canvas.

Furthermore, by leveraging the synergy effects of diverse businesses within the whole group, we aim to create and develop new businesses and technologies, thereby enhancing the value of the Maxell brand.
