Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. has celebrated the completion of construction work on the Creative Integration Lab.™ (CIL), a new R&D site located within the company’s Nagoya Works in Nagoya, Aichi. The company held a completion ceremony on Oct. 30.

Primarily, the CIL is intended to enhance Mitsui Chemicals’ capabilities for offering solutions via co-creation with customers. It will facilitate seamless cooperation between departments involved in semiconductor and assembly related research. Additionally, it aims to improve problem-solving capabilities and cultivate human resources by integration of the management of related research departments.

In this rapidly evolving world, with the spirit and ideas gathered at CIL, Mitsui Chemicals will create new materials and solutions, ultimately to enrich people’s daily lives.

Mainly, the CIL consists of two buildings: a co-creation building that provides them with a place to work on co-creation and encourages communication between customers and researchers; and an ICT test field that brings clean rooms and various evaluation facilities together under one roof.

Co-creation building (ATTA)

A place for communication between customers and researchers. To aid collaboration and co-creation with other Mitsui Chemicals sites, high-speed communication equipment linking up Creation Palette sites across the country has been installed, along with a digital presentation system enabling the sharing of specialized technical presentations (including academic conferences, exhibitions, etc.).

Consolidates and augments facilities for process evaluation, performance evaluation, reliability evaluation and more to serve as a place where Mitsui Chemicals can prototype and evaluate with customers.

*1:ATTA

The nickname of the Co-Creation building, ATTA, comes from Atsuta Shrine (Aichi Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture). It expresses our hope that when you come here, you will experience serendipity through Co-Creation, saying “I will meet someone” or “I will find an idea”.

*2:DELA

The nickname of the ICT test field building is a Nagoya dialect of Aichi prefecture that means “great” or “very”. We want people who visit and work here to feel attached to this place. This wish is expressed in the building’s name.
