Profile

Elephantech Inc. is a startup based in Tokyo, Japan, and the first mass-producer of inkjet-printed circuit boards. The core technology of Elephantech is the Pure Additive™️ method, a novel and sustainable manufacturing method utilizing metal inkjet printing technology, which is applicable to various types of electronic components and has a huge potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide. Elephantech is now focusing on printed circuit boards (PCB) and the PCB industry has a huge impact on the environment. It accounts for 0.1% of global GHG emissions and 10% of the total carbon footprint of Apple’s manufacturing. The Pure Additive™️ method can reduce its carbon footprint by 75% with competitive costs. The conventional method for PCB manufacturing is a complex and wasteful process because it requires an etching process to remove almost all of the copper layer laid in the former processes. Meanwhile, the Pure Additive™️ method simply prints copper ink where only necessary, reducing copper consumption by 70% and water consumption by 95%. Elephantech has raised approximately 70 billion yen, around 50 million USD, including equity and non-equity so far.

The company sits in the manufacturing & material segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

Its base of operations is Tokyo, Japan.

Its current recorded stage is J-Startup selected company.
