Sony Chemicals Corporation Established.
Established as a company that manufactures and sells copper foil with adhesives for printed circuit boards
Sony Chemicals Corporation Established.
Sony Corporation put the Japan's first transistor radio TR-55 on the market in 1955, which achieved significant downsizing with the use of transistors in place of existing vacuum tubes. The company also succeeded in developing a copper foil with adhesive for printed circuit board (PCB) for transistor radios jointly with Rubber and Asbestos Inc. in the United States (hereafter referred to as US R&A). The company imported this copper foil manufactured by US R&A and subcontracted the processing to a domestic PCB maker. However, in anticipation of the growing demand for transistor radios, the company signed a technical assistance contract with US R&A (later acquired by Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co.) to encourage domestic production. Then as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Corporation for manufacturing and sales of copper foil products for circuits and industrial adhesive products, Sony Chemicals Corporation was founded.
1977
Took the initiative in commercialization of a hot technology, Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF), in the industry.

Secondary protection devices for lithium-ion batteries
Production begins for surface mounted-type fuse (SCP)
Started production of protection element for Li-ion rechargeable battery.
As notebook-size personal computers, cellular phones, video cameras and other portable electronic equipment were coming out with reduced sizes and advanced features, the Li-ion rechargeable battery market expanded. Then Sony Chemicals Corporation succeeded in the world first mass production of protection elements that are essential to the safe operation of Li-ion batteries. Further in 1998, the company successfully developed the world's smallest size protection element Self Control Protector for Li-ion rechargeable batteries.
2000
Sony Chemicals Corporation was delisted from TSE. Became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Corporation.
2002
