To consolidate the share of the city! Building a new plant to expand LED capacity in Japan

Japan LED Nichia Corporation (Japan) chemical industry (Corporation) issued a press release announced on the 25 day, because of lighting, the backlight module needs to continue strong LED demand, plus LED expansion to the automotive, industrial machinery and other fields, the future market forecast will be further expanded, so the resolution in Naruto factory (Tokushima County Ming gate) factory Build new factory building, expand LED application product capacity, so as to maintain the top market share in the LED market.

The new plant will start work in August 2018 and expect to be completed in May 31, 2020. The total investment, including the cost of building construction and equipment import, is estimated to be about 16 billion yen (about 976 million RMB). After completion of production, it is estimated that the LED production capacity of the Naruto factory in 2021 will be expanded to about 2 times the current production capacity.

The Nikkei news reports that white LED is the main source of revenue for Japan, but because of the expansion of capacity in mainland China and Taiwan's LED manufacturers, the price competition is aggravated, so Japan Asia will strengthen the high value-added LED products, such as car / Lighting / liquid crystal.

It is reported that the Naruto plant of Japan and Asia is currently producing LED packaging and LED applications, and the new plant will be used as a specialized plant for LED applications.

In the operation plan published in April 23rd, it pointed out that it would increase the sales of EV with lithium ion battery materials, expand the LED city of China / Europe, plus LD, Laser Diode, which was used in the projector's light source (LD, Laser). The target was to increase the consolidated revenue to the size of 500 billion yen in 2020.

It is estimated that the combined revenue will increase by 21% to 420 billion yen in 2018, and the consolidated profit forecast is 50 billion yen, and the forecast of equipment investment will increase by 4 to 77 billion yen.
