ABOUT IMCC

Innovative Method Consortium

MISSION STATEMENT

IMCC is a practical platform designed to transform in-mold coating from a “specialized process” into a “standard option selected at the design stage.”

By integrating four domains — coating technology, injection equipment, molding machines, and mold design — across industry boundaries, IMCC supports technology implementation and investment decisions that are difficult for individual companies to pursue alone.

Our Activities

1

Proof of concept opportunities (verify mass production feasibility at actual product level before capital investment)

2

Technology systematization and standardization (integrating knowledge of coatings, molds, and molding conditions)

3

PoC and data creation (accumulation and sharing of validation data among members)

4

Investment decision support (quantitative data on ROI, cost, and CO₂ reduction)

5

Pre-adoption verification and hands-on experience (providing evaluation opportunities using actual equipment)

6

Market education and human resource development (promoting IMC technology and supporting skill development)

7

Production case creation and market formation (advancing real projects through member collaboration)

8

One-stop consultation function (integrated consultation on coatings, injection systems, molding machines, and molds)

9

Building a co-creation ecosystem (establishing cross-industry collaboration infrastructure)
