Creating business drivers through research and development

Having expanded the scope of its business by applying and developing printing and information (P&I) technologies, DNP recognizes that research and development is a vital corporate activity. Amid dramatic changes in our global world today, we understand the need to uncover the challenges facing communities from the standpoint of consumers, and promptly respond by determining what kinds of technologies are necessary to overcome those challenges. Based on that approach, we strive to accelerate the pace of our technological development by proactively collaborating with other companies that possess cutting-edge technologies while developing our own proprietary technologies.
