We were recently in Japan for strategic planning and manufacturing meetings with our partner, Sumitomo Electric. Dr. Sean Ghayeni, KMX Head of Technology, and I were honored to be special guests of Sumitomo Electric for the visit.
The planning sessions included members of Sumitomo Electric’s manufacturing, engineering, strategy, and commercial divisions.

The partnership combines KMX’s leadership in VMD, building on nearly 20 years of technology development, and Sumitomo Electric’s manufacturing excellence, with roots dating back over 400 years.
Together, KMX and Sumitomo are working towards helping some of the most innovative companies achieve maximum water and mineral recovery. These efforts are aligned with Sumitomo principles inherited over generations, including, “Mutual prosperity, respect for public good”.
