ABOUT US

GREETING

Since our founding in 1949, we at Yamamura Photonics have developed our business based on the glass material technology cultivated in glass products for vacuum tubes and the metal-glass joining technology (GTMS: Glass To Metal Seal). Based on this accumulated technology, we have made progress in technological innovation from vacuum tubes to semiconductors. We have contributed to society by providing various parts that support the combination of light and electronics. As a result, our business consists of three major fields as described below:

(1) glass parts for electrical and electronic equipment, medical and infrastructure.
(2) optoelectronics packaging parts.
(3) substrate materials for semiconductors and electronics.

In recent years, new technologies and products are making progress at a tremendous speed in the market of semiconductors, information, and communications, automobiles, etc., which are our main business fields. Therefore, it becomes more important that we can quickly detect a sign of changes in society to provide new technology and products suitable for the changing society. Also, we will review the existing methods once again to provide products and services that further satisfy our customers and to continue to make Yamamura Photonics a "responsible" and "reliable" existence.
With the slogan of "Let's be reborn," we will continue to aggressively and boldly address the complicated issues in the spirit of "Change and Challenge." Please look forward to Yamamura Photonics, which continues to make the challenges of developing and manufacturing unique parts and materials that combine "light and electronics" by connecting the "knowledge" of glass materials and the "skills" of glass processing.

VALUE

We at Yamamura Photonics will change impossible possible in the future while walking with our customers.

Yamamura Photonics takes advantage of its compact organization and supports customer development from the initial stage with its mobility and flexible responsiveness.
Aiming to be a development-type company, to realize speedy development in the electronics field where market changes and technological development are remarkable, we will help customers realize their ideals by supporting customized designs from small lots.
At Yamamura Photonics, we started with glass-metal joining technology, and through many years of experience and accumulated knowledge, we have created a wide range of core technologies such as glass ceramic material technology and small component assembly technology.
By combining these technologies, we will meet the needs of our customers and contribute to the expansion of various markets such as communications, medical, automobiles, and industrial equipment, and contribute to the development of technologies by actively working on new products and technologies.
