R&D Sites
G-TEKT proposes optimal products tailored to the changing needs of every customer.
We identify the diverse requirements of global markets and turn them into products at our R&D sites in Japan, North America, Europe and China. This enables us to propose the best products to match our customers’ needs in countries and regions around the world.
G-TEKT TOKYO LAB (GTL)
In 2018, we established a new R&D office in Tokyo, a focal point of resources that will serve as the driving force behind raising our competitiveness for achieving sustainable growth into the future. This all-new research environment will have talented employees with new ways of thinking as well as cutting-edge facilities and leading technological information exchange from collaborations with research offices in the United States, Germany and China.
