TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. will construct a factory on the premises of TAIYO YUDEN (CHANGZHOU) CO., LTD., and start producing multilayer ceramic capacitors in 2023.
Multilayer ceramic capacitors are electronic components for which demand is expected to grow. They are indispensable for the technical evolution of vehicles, such as the ongoing electrification and the use of electronic controls, as well as for communication infrastructures, such as servers and base station communication equipment, and for 5G smartphones. As a part of its growth strategy in the medium-term management plan 2025, the company will construct a factory on the premises of TAIYO YUDEN (CHANGZHOU) CO., LTD. to establish a production system that can respond to the expected increase in future demand.
As a part of the medium-term management plan 2025 for boosting the production of multilayer ceramic capacitors, TAIYO YUDEN established TAIYO YUDEN (CHANGZHOU) CO., LTD. in 2019 to prepare for full-scale production. The new cutting-edge factory will be environmentally friendly, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases through energy conservation by using energy efficient production equipment and energy creation by installing solar panels on its roof. We will continue developing electronic components that promote the evolution of electronics equipment, as well as ensure timely supply to our customers.
