So far, Japan remains one of the world’s leading electronics and industrial engineering countries and focusing on high-end, high-quality electronic, machinery and electrical equipment, and precision instrument. However, in recent years it has become difficult to divide IEN and NEP product categories as most industries cover the field of  both mechanical and electronics, and the field of high-tech manufacturing and combination of mechanical and electronics has no longer exist the difference; therefore, the readers’ identity of IEN Japan and NEP has no distinction. In order to make progresses, the integrated issues accompany with the digital edition with its strong link system will stimulate traffic between print readers and web visitors. We believe the newly-integrated magazine will start with the brand new cover and content. Moreover, we will help you more actively in the future and provide high-quality advertising service for you!
