    NewsArticleTitle
    Saitama Murata Manufacturing (formerly: TOKO, INC.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (hereafter: the Company), is ceasing production at its production subsidiaries Shantou S.E.Z. Huajian Electronics and Hua Jiuh Technology by the end of 2019.

    Saitama Murata Manufacturing Group (formerly: TOKO Group) has contributed primarily to the development of the telecommunications market through its design and production of coil products, but due to a diversification of market needs in major markets such as the smartphone market in recent years, an acceleration of the development cycle, and intensifying competition with overseas manufacturers, it is facing a difficult business environment. Shantou S.E.Z. Huajian Electronics and Hua Jiuh Technology in particular are experiencing factors such as decreased demand and intensifying price competition, and the Company has decided to end production at these subsidiaries and close them. Hereafter, the entire Saitama Murata Manufacturing Group will strive to build stronger production and management structures.

    The impact on the Company’s performance this fiscal year due to the closing of these production subsidiaries is negligible.
