As a leading company in the roll-to-roll flexography, coating and lamination machinery industry, KYMC goes beyond providing excellent technologies and consulting advice to our customers in the packaging printing, converting, and flexible electronic industries. KYMC takes one step further by fulfilling our corporate social responsibilities (CSR), participating in sustainable supply chain development, and supporting ESG-driven companies in their efforts to create a better future for humanity.

 

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

In 2024, KYMC joined E Ink Holdings' initiative along with 21 suppliers to donate e-readers (electronic paper reading devices) to 40 elementary schools in Yunlin, Taiwan. A total of 1,024 e-readers were donated, each containing 108 educational content. This initiative benefited over 15,000 students in Yunlin.

 

The purpose of this initiative is to provide students with a device that enables them to acquire knowledge in a more environmentally friendly way. Traditionally, producing physical books requires significant paper consumption. An e-reader with digitalized content can help save large amounts of paper, which in turn saves space, reduces energy consumption and lowers carbon emissions. Another purpose of giving out e-readers is to deliver electronic content while minimizing distractions. For instance, e-readers eliminate the interruptions caused by devices, such as mobile phones, pads, and computers, which often provide unrelated entertainment content.

 

KYMC believes more students will benefit from e-readers, thus educating our future generation while considering environmental sustainability. KYMC will continue to give back to society and participate in meaningful initiatives like this.

Supporting Sustainable Development

Sustainable development is at the core of KYMC. The company was one of the pioneers in focusing on the flexographic press, which is a more environmentally friendly printing method when compared to traditional techniques, such as gravure and offset printings. KYMC is also one of the forerunners in delivering water-based printing, coating, and lamination machines, replacing solvent-based solutions with water-based alternatives that significantly reduce VOC emissions. Furthermore, KYMC designs energy-efficient drying mechanisms in the production process to help conserve energy. KYMC advocates for promoting a more sustainable production process across industries such as packaging printing, paper cups, medical packaging, and flexible electronic industries.

 

Supporting ESG Driven Companies like E-Ink

KYMC is proud to be chosen as one of E Ink’s best partners in the ePaper ecosystem. E-ink is a global leader in developing ePaper technology. ePaper is a low-energy consumption display that can be applied to e-readers, retail, logistics, hospitals and transportation. E-ink is an ESG-driven company focused on providing low-carbon emission and sustainable development solutions to the market. The company has set ambitious goals to use 100% renewable energy in its operations by 2030, and to reach net-zero carbon emission by 2040. KYMC is pleased that our technological excellence in the roll-to-roll machinery has significantly contributed to the mass production of electronic paper. Our highly automated roll-to-roll machines, featuring smart functions, high precision, and high yield rates can support E-ink in shaping a better society for our future generations.
