SOFEL's Business Activities
SOFEL Co., Ltd. was established in May 1979. Its headquarters is located in Minato-ku, Tokyo, and its main business is the manufacture of contactless IC tags (RFID) and IC reader/writers, as well as the development of systems using them.
In 1987, SOFEL entered the gaming industry with the Disk System exclusive software “Cocona World”. They also established a local subsidiary in Los Angeles, USA, and developed and sold consumer software in both Japan and the US, focusing on Nintendo game software, as well as SuperPaint for Macintosh and the PC-UNIX OS “COHERENT”.
SOFEL handled many game adaptations of the popular tabletop RPG “Monster Maker”, attracting attention with their creative approach. The works released during this period were loved by many game fans, making SOFEL's name well-known.
In 1994, SOFEL withdrew from the game business and refocused on their main business of system development. Since 2000, they have been fully engaged in the RFID/IC tag management system business. SOFEL's technical capabilities in this field are highly evaluated and utilized by many companies and industries.
Currently, SOFEL is renowned for its system development utilizing RFID technology. They are also highly evaluated in the industry for the manufacture of contactless IC tags and IC reader/writers, with their technical capabilities and reliability being recognized both domestically and internationally.

SOFEL's charm lies in its flexibility and diverse business developments. From the gaming industry to system development and then shifting to RFID technology, SOFEL has always continued to take on new challenges. Their creative approach and technical capabilities are supported by many companies and industries.
Based on their solid technological foundation, SOFEL will continue to take on new challenges in new fields in the future.
