TOKYO, Feb 20 (Pulse News Wire) – SEMITEC Corporation (6626.T) announced plans to build a new facility within its existing Chiba factory grounds and establish a second domestic production site in Yamaguchi to address growing demand for thin-film thermistors. The company decided to suspend its previously announced headquarters construction project until further notice due to prioritizing capacity enhancement and business continuity planning.
The expansion aims to ensure long-term supply stability and reduce dependency on a single location. Construction of the new Chiba facility is scheduled to begin in December 2026, with completion expected by December 2027. It will cover approximately 2,400 square meters and require an investment of around ¥2.500 billion.
Meanwhile, the Yamaguchi plant's construction is set to commence in September 2026 and wrap up by July 2027, covering roughly 2,600 square meters and costing about ¥3 billion. This initiative includes securing additional space for future product launches, enhancing geographic risk diversification, and optimizing production efficiency. The company stated that there would be no impact on the fiscal year ending March 2026 but will disclose any effects on subsequent years as necessary.
