1

Innovating Under Pressure: How 3M Reinvented Optical Adhesives to Retain Market Leadership.
Opportunity

After years as a leader in optically clear tapes (OCA) for smartphones and tablets, 3M faced pushback on pricing, risking its market position. A cost-effective alternative with equivalent optical quality became essential.

A new technology roadmap led to the development of liquid optically clear adhesive (LOCA). LOCA was rapidly designed, prototyped, scaled, and launched, meeting customer demands and qualifying for new devices.
The swift transition from OCA tapes to LOCA safeguarded 3M’s position as the prime OCA supplier in the electronics industry.

Advancing Display Technology: 3M’s Strategic Partnership for Next-Gen Electronics.
Opportunity
3M’s R&D developed a silver-based conductive layer on optically clear PE films (Patterned Transparent Conductor, PTC), offering flexibility, conductivity, and quality to expand in the notebook and tablet display market.

We implemented an aggressive go-to-market strategy, collaborating with Asia’s chip makers and integrators, and engaging key OEMs (Apple, Panasonic, Samsung) to position 3M as an industry innovator.

In a competitive market, the film strengthened 3M’s role as a preferred technology partner for rapidly advancing electronics OEMs and integrators.

Leading the Way in Aerospace Safety: 3M’s Transition to Eco-Friendly Adhesives.
Opportunity

As aerospace material safety regulations tightened, 3M had a chance to strengthen its leadership by proactively adapting to the new standards.

We reengineered 3M’s structural adhesive films and primers, shifting from solvent-based to solvent-free thermoplastic films and water-based primers.

This innovation positioned 3M ahead of competitors, enhancing its reputation as a leader in environmentally friendly, safety-focused solutions without compromising quality.

AI-Enhanced Efficiency: How Project Phoenix Elevated CAS’s Competitiveness.
Opportunity

CAS, a leading scientific information company, faced inefficiencies and production bottlenecks that hindered innovation and competitiveness.

We launched Project Phoenix, using AI to automate low-value tasks, enabling scientists to focus on innovation and streamlining CAS’s cost structure.

Project Phoenix drove revenue growth and profitability, introduced new products and services, and significantly enhanced employee engagement and satisfaction.

Pioneering Sustainable LCD Technology: 3M’s Light-Enhancing Film Innovation.
Opportunity

As LCD TV production grew, energy consumption and LED costs hindered advancements in design and performance.

Using 3M’s film manufacturing expertise, we developed light-enhancing films that reduced LED requirements and improved viewing angles, gaining adoption from major LCD TV manufacturers.

This innovation positioned 3M as a key partner in energy conservation and established our leadership in sustainable LCD TV solutions.
