🟦 ROHM and Toshiba to strengthen business alliance in semiconductor business
ROHM proposed to strengthen its business alliance with Toshiba in the semiconductor business. Specifically, we will deepen cooperation on the following items in the power semiconductor business as a whole.
Linked Items
- manufacture
- Technology
- production
- sale
- procurement
- logistics
In the future, we are also considering a capital tie-up.
🟦 Synergies between the power semiconductor businesses of the two companies
Amid intensifying international competition in the semiconductor industry, ROHM and Toshiba have proposed to strengthen their business alliance in the semiconductor business. The semiconductor businesses of the two companies have a high affinity, and synergies are expected in terms of product portfolios and business strategies. Through this alliance, we aim to strengthen our competitiveness and increase our share in the global market.
In December 2023, the two companies announced the start of joint production of power semiconductors, and this strengthening of the alliance further deepens this relationship. We will proceed with concrete talks in the coming months and expect to reach an agreement by the end of 2024.
🟦Summary
ROHM announced that it has proposed to strengthen its business alliance with Toshiba in the semiconductor business. In addition to the manufacture of power semiconductors, we aim to strengthen our competitiveness in the increasingly competitive semiconductor market and enhance our corporate value by strengthening our collaboration in a wide range of fields, including technology development, parts procurement, and logistics.
There is a possibility that Toshiba’s power semiconductor business will eventually be absorbed by ROHM. The power semiconductor business of Japan companies has a high global market share when viewed as a whole, but the market share is not so high when looking at individual companies. Therefore, it can be said that the groundwork for this restructuring is indispensable for Japan companies to survive in international competition.
