Signed an Official Partner Agreement with Professional Football Club KATALLER TOYAMA “Providing support for the seventh consecutive year in the 2025 season”

KOKUSAI ELECTRIC CORPORATION (President and CEO: Fumiyuki Kanai, Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan) is pleased to announce the renewal of the official partner agreement with Kataller Toyama Co., Inc. (President: Shigeo Hidaritomo, Head Office: Toyama-shi, Toyama, Japan), which is the operator of KATALLER TOYAMA, a professional football club of the Japan Professional Football League (J.League). We will provide support for this club for the seventh consecutive year since the 2019 season.

Our group is a specialized manufacturer of semiconductor manufacturing equipment that plays a key role in the evolution of semiconductors. We have earned high acclaim from customers worldwide by operating businesses that revolve around the deposition process that affects the performance of semiconductor devices and the treatment (film property improvement) process. We started the operation of the TOYAMA TECHNOLOGY & MANUFACTURING CENTER in Yatsuo-machi, Toyama-shi, in 1989. Since then, we have produced semiconductor manufacturing equipment for shipment at this center. Additionally, in September 2024, we completed the construction of the TONAMI MANUFACTURING CENTER in Tonami-shi, Toyama, and began operations there starting in October of the same year.

Our group, as a company based in the same prefecture, feels sympathy for KATALLER TOYAMA’s management policy of “Making Toyama a thriving city.” To contribute to sustainable development and local revitalization of Toyama through sports, we have decided to continue supporting the football club as an official partner for the 2025 season. This season, as well as last season, we will see our company name placed on a pitch advertising board somewhere around one of the corner poles.

Under the corporate slogan “Technology & Tai-wa for Tomorrow,” we will pursue economic, environmental, and social values from both business and ESG initiatives (resolving environmental and social issues and strengthening governance), with the aim of contributing to the achievement of SDGs and realizing a sustainable society and our group’s sustainable development.
