FFT Inc.

Based in Japan, FFT Inc. specializes in the recycling and supply of silicon wafers, crucial for semiconductor manufacturing, focusing on enhancing usability and promoting environmentally friendly practices. FFT Inc. is engaged in the recycling and processing of silicon wafers, founded in 1972 and headquartered in Yokohama, Japan.

The company has undergone no notable business strategy pivots. It has been involved in one funding transaction; in February 2025, IA Partners agreed to fully acquire FFT Inc. , with financial terms undisclosed. 株式会社エフエフティ specializes in the regeneration and processing of silicon wafers, which serve as essential substrates in semiconductor manufacturing.

The company collects used silicon wafers from semiconductor manufacturers, refurbishing them through a proprietary regeneration process that enhances their usability and performance. This service is designed to significantly reduce costs for clients while promoting environmentally sustainable manufacturing practices. In addition, the company offers sales of silicon wafers and customized processing solutions tailored to specific client needs, primarily serving semiconductor manufacturers and technology firms in Asia, notably Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The revenue model of 株式会社エフエフティ is primarily structured around B2B transactions within the semiconductor industry.

The company generates income from both its regeneration services and the sale of silicon wafers. Clients engage in contracts for refurbishment services on a project basis, processing specific quantities of silicon wafers according to client production schedules. Additionally, the sale of silicon wafers operates on a wholesale basis, with bulk orders for resale or direct manufacturing use. The pricing structure is influenced by factors such as the volume of wafers processed and specialized processing requirements, ensuring tailored solutions for each business partner without publicly disclosed pricing details.

In February 2025, FFT Inc. will undergo an acquisition by IA Partners, which is expected to enhance its business foundation and facilitate further growth and development. The acquisition may also support the company’s strategic initiatives in expanding its market presence. The specific plans for new products or geographic regions targeted for expansion have not been disclosed.
