Shinto Kogyo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya City; Representative Director and President: Jun Nagai) has decided to construct new factories within the premises of its Toyokawa Plant in Toyokawa City, Aichi Prefecture, to establish a mass production system for heat dissipation metal parts and ceramic heat dissipation substrates, with 3D printer technology at its core.
The new factories will consist of two buildings: a metal heat dissipation parts factory and a ceramic heat dissipation substrate factory. The metal heat dissipation parts factory is planned to have a site area of approximately 5,167㎡ and a total floor area of approximately 5,870㎡, while the ceramic heat dissipation substrate factory will have a site area of approximately 3,535㎡ and a total floor area of approximately 3,700㎡. Both will be two-story steel-frame structures.
The total investment for this project is estimated to be approximately 10 billion JPY, with the goal of starting mass production in August 2028. The new factories will establish a 3D technology platform that enables large-scale industrial production and will produce high-value-added components utilizing next-generation manufacturing technology.

■ Expanding Heat Dissipation Needs Centered on AI Data Centers
In recent years, with the widespread adoption of large-scale GPU servers in AI data centers, power consumption and heat generation have rapidly increased, posing challenges in balancing high-efficiency cooling performance and energy efficiency. Furthermore, as electronic components become more sophisticated and highly integrated in the automotive, communication, and information processing fields, there is a growing demand for further performance improvement in heat dissipation materials. Against this backdrop, the demand for highly efficient and precise heat dissipation solutions is expected to continue to expand.
■ Mass Production of Heat Dissipation Materials by 3D Printing
At the new factories, a technology platform utilizing 3D screen printing technology will be introduced to undertake the mass production of metal and ceramic heat dissipation materials through additive manufacturing. This technology, characterized by its multi-material compatibility and high-precision molding, will enable stable production of metal parts and ceramic heat dissipation substrates with high heat dissipation performance, which were difficult to achieve with conventional methods.
■ As Part of Shinto Kogyo's Growth Strategy
This initiative is part of Shinto Kogyo's growth strategy in the shaping domain, promoted under its corporate philosophy of "Material to Form, Life to It." By establishing the new factories, the company will establish a mass production system for next-generation heat dissipation materials, strengthen its competitiveness in growth markets such as AI data centers, and realize a stable supply of high-value-added products.
