In addition, we established semiconductor-related product sales subsidiaries in Asia, Europe, and other markets, and as a result the electronics- related business became a major driver of the Group’s growth. Furthermore, we took steps to accel-erate our global business development, such as establishing a label-related products production subsidiary in China in 2002.Effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake and European Debt CrisisIn 2010, we completed the rebuilding of the Tatsuno Plant (Hyogo Prefecture), which is our main plant for adhesive papers and films for labels. Furthermore, in 2015, we established the Advanced Technology Building at the Research Center (Saitama Prefecture). Through these types of initiatives, we took steps to strengthen our production and R&D system in Japan. Overseas, in 2011 we established a production subsid-iary in Thailand. Subsequently, in 2016, we acquired three companies in Europe and the U.S., including MACTAC AMERICAS, LLC that has a high share of the North American market for label-related products. In this way, we entered a new growth stage.
