A total of 230 billion yen will be invested in 640 billion yen will be invested in normal equipment investment such as increasing production of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC). The company aims to capture the ever-changing and expanding market through aggressive investment and increase consolidated sales for the fiscal year ending March 2013 to 2 trillion yen, up 15.6% from the forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2010.

It was revealed in the three-year medium-term management plan announced on the 15th. In response to the shift in the provision of value to customers from hardware to software, "We will improve our ability to provide solutions (combining parts and modules such as MLCCs with software)," said President Norihiro Nakajima. The plan is to raise sales to 100 billion yen in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 through new businesses that mainly propose solutions. Therefore, we will actively invest in acquiring technologies that can differentiate us from other companies.

We will increase production of MLCCs, for which demand is currently growing, in Thailand. This is the first production in Thailand. The company purchased land near an electronic parts factory in the suburbs of Chiang Mai, and invested approximately 12 billion yen to construct a new building with a total floor area of ​​approximately 80,000 square meters. It will start operating in October 2011. Production capacity is not disclosed.
