JFE Techno Research Co., Ltd. was established on October 1, 2004, when three companies—Kawatech Techno Research Inc., Kōkan Keisoku Inc., and Nihon Kōkan Techno Service Inc.—merged to form the company.
On October 7, 2026, we posted 15 new leaflets covering various testing and evaluation techniques such as interlaminar shear strength assessment of FRP, surface resistance measurement of motor cores, and overpotential separation measurement of water electrolysis cells.
JFE Tech Research exhibited at the 17th High-Performance Film Development & Manufacturing Exhibition, held from September 30 to October 2, 2026, at Hall 1 of Makuhari Messe. The booth showcased the film thickness distribution measurement device "FiDiCa®" and airflow visualization technology using infrared cameras, among other products. We expressed our gratitude to the visitors.
JFE Tech Research Co., Ltd. exhibited at the Automotive World Autumn 2026 EV, HV, and FCV Technology Exhibition held from Wednesday, September 9, 2026, to Friday, September 11, 2026. The exhibition introduced evaluation and analysis technologies for materials for electric vehicle motors and electromagnetic application equipment, and expressed gratitude to visitors.
JFE Tech Research has begun offering an analysis service targeting ultra-short chain PFAS with carbon numbers 1-3, which were difficult to measure using conventional methods. Using specialized columns and high-performance LC-MS/MS, the service evaluates PFAS including degradation products, supporting product development, quality assurance, environmental management, and regulatory compliance.
JFE Tech Research has begun selling water electrolysis evaluation test equipment that supports research and development of green hydrogen production technology. It can precisely control current, temperature, flow rate, etc., and evaluate performance from initial to long-term durability. By making the liquid contact part metal-free, it eliminates the influence of metal ion leaching, providing highly accurate test data useful for developing and designing cell components.
Mr. Kaori Sato, who has been involved in the development of analysis and evaluation technologies at JFE Techno Research for many years, will give a keynote speech at the ZEISS INNOVATION SUMMIT 2026. The talk theme is "Microscopy for Industry - Sweet Spot Imaging", a microscopy technology for industrial fields. The event will be held in Berlin, Germany, from November 4-6, 2026.
JFE Techno Research has established a non-destructive analysis technology using the domestically first introduced Sigray 3D X-ray microscope "ApexHybrid-210™". They have published analysis cases of all-solid-state batteries and semiconductor packages, and will begin full-scale provision of commissioned analysis services from August 2026.
JFE Techno Research has officially launched a comprehensive contract evaluation service for perovskite solar cells. From material analysis and film structure analysis to module performance testing and durability assessment, we provide a seamless service that supports solving technical challenges from research and development to demonstration and mass production.
Operations began at the Makuhari office on May 7, 2026, consolidating the three technology centers in Chiba and Keikyu. The new office will strengthen DX support for the manufacturing industry, using JFE Group's DX technology to address customer challenges in a unified manner.
JFE Techno Research, as part of the manufacturing solutions brand 'JFE Resolus®' launched by JFE Steel, began offering the 'DX Basics Course' on July 8, 2026. The course is built on the company's accumulated DX and DS technologies and is designed to provide practical content, aiming to enhance digital literacy across manufacturing companies and support their DX initiatives.
