Start of construction in October 2023
Kyocera, which is reinvesting in its existing factories both in Japan and abroad, decided to build the new factory in December 2022. The decisive factor was that the company realized that the increasing market demand made additional production capacities necessary. The acquisition agreement includes approximately 5.5 hectares of developed land, which will begin construction in October 2023, and approximately 9.3 hectares of predeveloped land, which Kyocera intends to acquire in 2024.
Response to increasing market demand
It is expected that the demand for components in the electronics industry will continue to increase, in parallel with trends such as miniaturization, advancing semiconductor technology, growing functionality of smartphones and other communication devices, expansion of 5G base stations and data centers, and the spread of new automotive innovations, such as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and electric vehicle technologies.
To meet this demand, the new Kyocera factory will produce fine ceramic components for semiconductor-related applications and semiconductor packages. Production is scheduled to start in 2026.
Through this factory, Kyocera will add value to the local community by reviving Nagasaki Prefecture’s economy and creating new job opportunities.
