SERIA CORPORATION

What SERIA CORPORATION does

SERIA CORPORATION (株式会社セリアコーポレーション) is a Japanese precision printing technology company founded in March 1972 (originally as Tokai Shoji) and headquartered in Toda City, Saitama Prefecture. The company specializes in screen printing and gravure offset printing technologies for electronics, semiconductor, display, solar cell, automotive, and advanced manufacturing applications, with proprietary capabilities reaching 7μm-level line widths for fine-line and Micro-Ball mounting applications. Its product portfolio spans three pillars: printing machines (16 standard screen printing models, vacuum printers, and the PEPIO gravure offset series), materials and consumables (screen mesh, Sericast squeegees, inks, emulsions, solvents, wipes, and cleanroom supplies), and plate-making services (including direct plate-making systems supporting plates up to 4,000mm). Complementary solutions target FA automation, semiconductor packaging, fine line printing, IoT/FHE devices, micro LED mounting, and copper fine printing.

Since 2014 SERIA has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Komori Corporation (Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime), with manufacturing performed through its wholly-owned subsidiary SERIA ENGINEERING, INC. (ISO 9001-certified, operating Gujo and Kakamigahara factories). The company generates revenue through one-time equipment sales of printing machines, recurring materials and consumables, plate-making professional services, and maintenance contracts. GTM is sales-led with direct enterprise field sales across four domestic Japanese branches (Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka) supplemented by eight overseas distributors (South Korea, China, Taiwan via Komori, Austria, India, US via Komori America) and dedicated R&D centers (PEC and PEDEC). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates via direct inquiry.
