JEC World 2023 preview: Teijin Group
The Teijin Group is featuring its sustainable composite products and technologies, as well as a panel of speakers on Wednesday afternoon.
The Teijin Group (Tokyo, Japan) is featuring a variety of sustainable composite products, including its high-performance materials and composites technologies that can improve manufacturing cycle times, reduce environmental impact and improve consumer safety and comfort, depending on the application. Each innovation was developed in keeping with Teijin’s vision of, “Net zero is the goal. The solution is composite.”
Also, Teijin representatives will gather for a presentation and Q&A session on Wednesday, April 26, 2:00- 2:55 pm, at Agora 5 to give the audience insights into how Teijin lives up to its promise to become net zero by 2050.
