MMIC is this Department's platform for innovation to meet the ever-growing industry demands. ITDI's core Research and Development facility uses machines, processes, and streamline manufacturing for the selected by-products as raw materials, which is also known as the"backend innovation." The manufaturing facility is quipped with new modular equipment that have multi-functional use. ITDI is capable to retrofit these high-tech machines for the application of different manufacturing lines, for both manual and automated processing.
