Three associates obtained Doctor of Engineering
Asahi Rubber Inc, has been focused on R&D ever since its establishment and has introduced a lot of new products into the market. As a part of the activities, we support what we call coordination between industry and academia, i.e. cooperation with universities. We regard the activities as an important initiative to promote the development of new products. As a matter of fact, in joint research with Hokkaido University, we have commercially developed "Rubber Phantom", a whole human body phantom for measuring electromagnetic waves, and we have also designed "Saporous" welfare and long-term care goods using sanitary, shock-absorbent foam with Nihon University. In addition, we encourage executives and associates of subsidiaries to take Ph. D. courses for working people and to obtain Doctor's degrees in university laboratories.
