About Our Printed Electronics Business and Products
R&D is driven forward by Creavis, our strategic innovation unit. Working closely with the business segments, Creavis is engaged in research into new technologies. Creavis has launched a new energy storage technology based on redox-polymers. It allows for completely solid-state ultra-thin printed batteries that can be directly integrated into sensors and IoT devices. The new proprietary TAeTTOOz® technology enables new applications in the IoT field, promoting more accurate health monitoring, more efficient logistics and smarter infrastructure.
The TAeTTOOz® materials are environmentally benign and can be processed via printing technologies. They create a new dimension of design freedom and allow a seamless integration of the battery in the production process.

Future Perspective and Expectation for German-Japanese Market
Evonik Japan began with only 10 members at the time of its establishment and with a very limited products line in 1969. However, we rode on the wave of Japan’s economic growth and became bigger. Now Evonik Japan has more than 180 employees as of today. Including our group companies in Japan, we have more than 450 employees. We have expanded our operations in terms of not only production facility but also technology centers and labs. Evonik Japan has been serving our customers through innovative products & solutions, dedicated services and reliable supplies. For the past 50 years, we have devoted ourselves to meet the needs of our Japanese customers and also made efforts to ground ourselves as a well-balanced German/Japanese company. We will be looking forward to working with you in the years to come, and will be continuously making efforts to become your "partner of choice".
