   Company Profile

   NPC Group's vacuum technologies have been employed in various
fields, ranging from vacuum food packaging to photovoltaic module
manufacturing.

   We are engaged in two operations. They are the vacuum packaging
machine business, which corresponds to demands related to food and
industrial or electronic components; the photovoltaic manufacturing
equipment business related to the downstream-process (module process).
Both of these are supported by vacuum technologies, our core
technologies that we have been accumulating since our foundation. The
vacuum technologies are technologies with new possibilities and wide
spheres of application.

   (Photovoltaic manufacturing equipment business)

   --Tabber and Stringer (soldering machine)

   This equipment wires each cell in a continuous fashion during the
manufacturing process of photovoltaic modules, which are a package of
cells aligned on hardened glass. It usually solders two tabs
(ribbons), on a single cell.

   --Vacuum Laminator

   This equipment laminates photovoltaic modules. After heating the
layers of package of cells aligned on the hardened glass, protection
films, and others, it completes the modules by pressing them evenly
under controlled vacuum.

   --Cell Tester

   This equipment is used in the initial stages of photovoltaic
module manufacturing. It measures a cell's output by applying
simulated sunlight to each solar cell, and classifies cells based on
its output.

   --Module Tester

   This equipment is used in the final inspection process of
photovoltaic module manufacturing. It measures output by applying
simulated sunlight to finished photovoltaic modules.

   (Vacuum packaging machine business)

   --Vacuum Packaging Machines

   This is the most commonly used vacuum packaging machine employed
mainly for food packaging. It is the technology of which is used for
degassing and sealing of containers or bag of packaging foods for the
purposes mainly of corruption prevention and thermal sterilization.

   --Special Vacuum Equipment

   This special vacuum equipment customizes various packaging needs,
including the packaging of wafers, substrates, electronic components,
and other items that require a clean-room environment. It can also
handle the packaging of vacuum insulating materials, which has to be
done in a medium vacuum, and the packaging of large, heavy, or
powdered items.
