ABOUT MURAKAMI

Murakami was established in 1965 and has been contributing to the growth and development of the screen printing industry ever since. Our dedication to research and development, manufacturing of photo-sensitive materials, manufacturing of screens for the trade, and the sale of other screen printing related products, has elevated Murakami to the forefront of the screen printing manufacturing and supply market place.

PHOTO SENSITIVE MATERIALS

In 1985, Murakami was presented with the prestigious “Inoue Harushige Award” for taking the development of Photo sensitive material to new and high level. Murakami has also obtained many patents for development of advanced Photo-sensitive technology. We currently own one factory in Japan and three factories abroad that produce a total of 1,000 tons per year that makes Murakami one of the top manufacturers in the world. Direct-indirect film has been manufactured using our emulsion to provide stencils that are more user friendly, higher precision, better resolution, extremely flat stencil surfaces, and precisely controlled emulsion thicknesses.

SCREEN MASK

Murakami is unique, in that, not only do we manufacture high quality stencils for the electronics trade, but we also develop and manufacture high resolution emulsions and films. The advantages of speed and cost have made Murakami famous for precise screen making in Japan. Our companies are also distributing virtually all of the supplies and equipment related to screen printing. We are able to offer each client dedicated and reliable service because of our historically accumulated data base and technological expertise.

ISO

All of Murakami screen mask centers in Japan acquired ISO9001 (Quality Management System) accreditation in 2001. Murakami also received ISO 14001 (Environment Management System) for 5 areas in Japan (Tokyo, Ibaraki, Chiba, Funabashi and Inazawa) in 2005.

Network

The Murakami Group is able to provide and service any and all demands for stencil making and related products by having 15 locations in five countries. The corner stone of Murakami’s success is the commitment to extensive research and development of Photo Sensitive Emulsions, pursuing the challenges of producing screens with finer lines and spacing, and providing the finest quality fine fibered mesh. This allows us to respond to the variety needs and requests from for any type of screen printing. These technical advantages along with the Murakami Group Network and sales capability are great sources of strength.
