The Japanese keiretsu have been described in similar terms, yet compared to business groups in other countries the postwar keiretsu warrant the “group” label least. -

Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products
Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) developed ‘chemSHERPA’ [kémʃéərpə] as a new information transfer scheme for chemicals in products throughout their supply chains. METI hopes that the dissemination of chemSHERPA may contribute to reduce the workload of both providers and recipients of the information. From the beginning of the development of chemSHERPA, METI has been in communication with international bodies such as the IEC and the IPC, etc., with the aim of developing chemSHERPA into not only a Japanese standard but also an International standard. To make it a de-facto standard, METI has introduced this scheme to international organizations and governments of other countries for their active use. The Joint Article Management Promotion Consortium (JAMP) is a governing body for chemSHERPA from April 2016 and see a shift to chemSHERPA. We believe many companies are preparing towards implementing chemSHERPA. Based on the efforts mentioned above, the following companies and company groups have agreed with the dissemination of chemSHERPA, and METI will continue to work with JAMP and companies to spread the use of chemSHERPA to internal as well as external supply chains as needed.(Please contact us if any company or company group has interest in putting its name below.) It should be noted, the use of the provision of data entry support tools is free of charge in principle with the aim of promoting wider use of chemSHERPA.

The Joint Article Management Promotion Consortium (JAMP) will be a governing body for chemSHERPA from April 2016 and METI expects to see an orderly, step-by-step shift to chemSHERPA over the two years transition period. Accordingly JAMP has a plan to finish renewing the substances list in the existing JAMP scheme by the end of March of 2018. We believe many companies will begin advance preparations towards implementing chemSHERPA. Based on the efforts mentioned above, the following companies and company groups have agreed with the dissemination of chemSHERPA, and METI will continue to work with companies to spread the use of chemSHERPA to internal as well as external supply chains.(Please contact us if any company or company group has interest in putting its name below.)

Press Release
Press Release Press contact Corporate Communications Office Tel: +81-3-3457-2105 1-1-1 Shibaura, Minato-ku, Tokyo 105-8001, Japan Fax: +81-3-5444-9202 URL: http://www.toshiba.co.jp/about/press/index.htm FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 7, 2011 Toshiba establishes new HDD technology centers for future generation high density recordings Strengthen advanced cutting edge technologies and manufacturing technologies TOKYO—Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) today announced that it will establish two new technology development centers for hard disk drives (HDD). The “HDD Advanced Technology Center” will seek to accelerate development of higher density technology and the “HDD Manufacturing Technology Center” will develop enhanced manufacturing capabilities. Both will open on July 16th. Toshiba will cooperate in the development work with TDK Corporation, which manufactures magnetic heads, and Showa Denko K.K., a disk media manufacturer. In 2004, Toshiba led the industry in introducing perpendicular magnetic recording technology (PMR), now the dominant technology for high areal density HDD, and in doing so realized significant advances in hard disk drive capacity. However the physical limit of PMR is widely recognized at around 1.6Gbit/mm2 (1Tbit/in2) and densities beyond that will require further technology breakthroughs. Toshiba, in cooperation with TDK and Showa Denko, is establishing an HDD Advanced Technology Center to focus on innovation in future generations of higher capacity HDD by investigating promising technologies, including energy-assisted technologies and bit pattern technology. By establishing a complementary manufacturing technology development center at the same time, Toshiba, in cooperation with TDK, expects to develop stable manufacturing methods for future cutting-edge HDDs and to achieve the very earliest launch of differentiated products.
