KIYOSU, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. (TOKYO:7282) has invested* in Pi Photonics, Inc., which develops and sells LED lighting equipment for industrial use that can project light patterns with high visibility.

Pi Photonics' LED lights, which form light patterns, differ from general light sources in which the edge of the light becomes indistinct when projected at a distance. Using high-brightness LEDs and originally designed optical elements, patterns such as straight lines or rings can be displayed distinctly. These lights can be used in safety displays, such as in manufacturing sites to visualize restricted areas or fall zones of loads during crane work, as well as in stage lighting and more. They are also introducing these lights outside Japan.

Toyoda Gosei will use Pi Photonics' technology in its plants globally, such as when using cranes to move dies for product molding. The company also aims to create safer workplaces through collaborative explorations to expand the applications of Pi Photonics' products.

* Investment made in December 2024, through Toyoda Gosei's Corporate Venture Capital Dept., an internal organization dedicated to these investments.
