MICRONICS JAPAN CO.,LTD. [6871.T]
TOKYO, Mar 26 (Pulse News Wire) – Micronics Japan CO.,LTD. (6871.T) announced today that its board of directors has approved additional equipment investments aimed at enhancing production capacity for memory probe cards due to rising demand.
The company previously expanded its Aomori factory in December 2024 by constructing a new building and continuing investment in machinery and facilities. However, recent trends indicate a significant increase in AI data center investments driven by the proliferation of generative AI technology, leading to a surge in demand for advanced memory semiconductors such as High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). As a result, Micronics anticipates rapid growth in demand for its memory probe cards. To address this growing need, the company plans to intensify equipment investments specifically at the Aomori factory's new facility while also upgrading production areas at both the Aomori and Aomori Matsuzaki factories.
These enhancements aim to bolster the company’s presence in the memory probe card market and ensure timely responses to expanding customer demands. The total investment amount for the two-year period from April 2027 to March 2028 is ¥24.10 billion. Funding will come from internal resources and loans. The company expects no impact on consolidated performance for the fiscal year ending December 2026.
Any further developments related to this investment will be disclosed promptly.
