Amidst evolving global markets and demographic shifts, Tayca Corporation harnesses cutting-edge Japanese technology to stay at the forefront, leading in innovation and adapting to changing economic conditions.

Navigating New Horizons: Tayca's Tech Innovation

In an era where economic and demographic changes reshape industries, Tayca Corporation and TFT Corporation stand out through innovative resilience and technological prowess. Shunji Idei and Masahiko Tauchi, presidents of these leading entities in the piezoelectric and chemical sectors, share insights on effectively navigating these transformations.

The landscape for Japanese manufacturers has been dramatically altered by global policies and economic factors, including the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and the COVID-19 pandemic. These challenges have compelled companies to diversify supply chains and continuously innovate. Mr. Idei highlights the dual impact of these shifts, saying: "The JPY has been weaker since the COVID-19 pandemic. During that period, supply chain disruptions were also a big issue. These two factors have significantly impacted Japanese businesses and the economy. However, companies producing high-functionality products using advanced Japanese technologies have expanded their global customer bases."

Japanese firms are known for their commitment to quality and innovation, traits Mr. Idei and Mr. Tauchi see as crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. "Our main strength is our technology," Mr. Tauchi emphasizes, noting the development of products that meet customer needs perfectly.

MELISSA PETERMAN

FOR MELISSA PETERMAN, THE FIRST SEASON OF NBC'S HAPPY'S PLACE WAS A dream come true; getting a second season is an embarrassment of riches. “Getting a pilot is the lottery. Getting that pilot picked up is another gigantic win that is getting rarer and rarer.” Peterman plays Gabby, friend and co-worker of Bobbie, played by Reba McEntire, owner of the fictional tavern Happy’s Place. The sitcom reunites Peterman and McEntire, who first appeared together on Reba. “I think there is value in the second banana. There's value in the sidekick.” While fans see her as way more than just a sidekick, Peterman knows how rare it is to get a second chance with a hit sitcom. “It’s almost more precious because I know how rare it is to get a second chance with your best friend.” Busier than ever, Peterman also co-hosts Hallmark's Finding Mr. Christmas. “I would be really sad if I didn’t get to host a game show or go be with people. I genuinely like people.”
