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)

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.

module manufacturing. It measures a cell's output by applying
simulated sunlight to each solar cell, and classifies cells based on
its output.
