Hakusan Corporation to Debut at Major Global Trade Shows for Optical Communications

Hakusan Corporation Accelerates Global Market Challenge

Hakusan Corporation, based in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, has announced its inaugural participation in two of the world's largest optical communications trade shows: the China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE) in Shenzhen and the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) in Copenhagen, both scheduled for 2025. This follows their first appearance earlier this year at OFC 2025 in the United States. With a strategic focus on these three significant markets—America, China, and Europe—Hakusan aims to strengthen its global presence.

Overview of the Exhibitions

Hakusan will showcase its innovations at the CIOE 2025, running from September 10 to September 12 at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center, booth number 9B138 in Hall 9. This event is known for being Asia's largest business hub, attracting over 3,800 companies across 30 countries and covering various fields including information communication, precision optics, lasers, infrared, sensing, display, and AR/VR.

Following that, they will be at the ECOC 2025, which takes place from September 29 to October 1 at the Bella Centre in Copenhagen, booth E1204 in Hall E. As the largest optical communication technology exhibition in Europe, ECOC focuses on fiber optic communication, networking equipment, and photonic integrated circuits, providing valuable sessions for knowledge sharing and business negotiations.

Goals for Participation

By participating in these exhibitions, Hakusan aims to promote its technological prowess and product excellence in the optical communication sector globally and enhance its brand recognition. The company's debut at OFC 2025 this April garnered significant interest among attendees, leading to the decision to also participate in OFC 2026. This series of appearances represents not just product promotion but an essential step in building a brand and deepening market understanding in real-world contexts. With continuous participation in these three vital markets, Hakusan aims to bolster its presence in the global optical communications industry.

Targeting the Chinese Market at CIOE 2025

As the largest exhibition dedicated to optics, with over 3,800 companies participating, CIOE in Shenzhen presents a unique opportunity for Hakusan to engage directly with customers. By using its smaller booth size of 9 square meters, they plan to interact with local customers to refine their product offerings and strategies. Given the competitive nature of the Chinese market, showcasing their technological advantages will be crucial.

Addressing the European Market at ECOC 2025

ECOC, held in Copenhagen, is crucial for Hakusan due to the lower recognition of multi-core connector manufacturers in Europe. The company aims to proactively establish its brand and technical capabilities in this region. Compared to OFC, the competition from Chinese ferrule manufacturers at ECOC is less intense, making it a prime opportunity for Hakusan to enhance its market visibility. They will utilize a 12-square-meter booth to increase their interactions with European customers and gather insights to inform future strategies.

Exhibited Innovations

Hakusan's booth will highlight cutting-edge optical connector technologies essential for advancing optical communication infrastructure, specifically featuring next-generation MT ferrules, optical-electrical hybrid technologies, and solutions for CPOs.

Next-Generation MT Ferrules

To meet the demands of increasingly dense and compact optical communication networks, Hakusan plans to exhibit:

- Thin MT Ferrules: Designed for ultra-thin cladding of 80 μm.
- Narrow Pitch MT Ferrules (MTDS®): Supporting high-density fiber counts of 125/127 μm.
- MTCOMPACT® Series: Featuring Hakusan's ultra-compact MT ferrules.

Optical-Electrical Hybrid Technology and CPO Solutions

Supporting NTT’s IOWN concept, Hakusan will showcase solutions that contribute to the integration of optical and electrical technologies, including:

- High-Temperature Resistant MT Ferrules (MTHR®): Capable of withstanding high-temperature reflow processes.
- Ceramic Multi-Core Ferrules (CMF®): Customizable features for fiber count and pitch.
