July 14, 2025 News Center - Events

Oulu, Finland / Shenzhen, China – July 10, 2025 – Samudy (Holdings) Limitedannounced today that it has officially obtained the patented license from Finland'sTactoTekfor in-mold structural electronics (IMSE®) technology. This partnership marks the establishment of China's first automotive-gradeIMSE®electrical functional film supply chain, positioning the Samudy Groupas a Tier 1 manufacturer ofIMSE®finished products in consumer electronics, medical and industrial fields.



Technology Integration Drives Manufacturing Upgrade


Mr. Fu Huaqiang (Boris Fu), General Manager of Samudy Jingchuang Injection Molding, said:"IMSE®technology perfectly fits the Group'one-stop injection molding solution'global strategy. Leveraging our mature technical reserves in multi-color molding (2K/3K),IMLmolding, insert molding and other fields, combined with high-speed printing, thermoforming and our own mold engineering capabilities, we have built an end-to-endIMSE®mass production system."

The Group will develop dual-track business simultaneously:

1. As an automotive Tier 2 supplier, providing globalTier1customers withIMSE®electrical functional film core components

2. For consumer electronics, medical devices and industrial fields, directly delivering completeHMIfunctionalIMSE®components integrating smart lighting and human-machine interaction


Localized Supply Chain Advantages Stand Out


"At our production bases in Shenzhen, Huizhou and Suzhou, we have completed the deployment ofIATF 16949compliantIMSE®dedicated production lines,"Mr. Fu emphasized,"through vertical integration of mold development, materials engineering and mass manufacturing, we can shorten product development cycles by more than50%and significantly reduce cross-border supply chain complexity, meeting the growing demand of Chinese and Asia-PacificOEMcustomers for smart surface technology."


Technology Synergy Unleashes Innovation Momentum


Marko Suo-Anttila, Senior Vice President of Customer Solutions at TactoTek, confirmed: "Samudy's leading mold design capability and injection molding process development system make it a core fulcrum in the IMSE®global capacity layout. The engineering teams of both parties are cooperating to optimize key technologies such as thermoforming and circuit integration, promoting IMSE®application breakthroughs in emerging fields such as ultra-thin medical devices."


Forward-Looking Layout of the Smart Surface Ecosystem


This technology license will strengthen Samudy's service capabilities in the following areas:

✅ Lightweight integrated structural components (40~70% weight reduction compared with traditional solutions)

✅ Seamless touch interfaces (supporting complex curved-surface integration)

✅ Dynamic customizable lighting systems
