Japanese power semiconductor and electronics maker; longtime majority owner of US-listed Allegro MicroSystems, a stake it has been selling down.
Japanese power semiconductor and electronics maker; longtime majority owner of US-listed Allegro MicroSystems, a stake it has been selling down.
Sells power chips and power-supply units to appliance, industrial and automotive makers, a business of qualified parts that stay in a design for years. It bought Allegro in 1990 and listed it in the US in 2020; selling down that stake turns a holding into cash it can reinvest.
In one line: Japan's former parent of Allegro MicroSystems, itself a smaller power-electronics maker.
Moat: none (process know-how). Competes in a commoditizing power-electronics niche; its main strategic asset (the Allegro stake) is being divested.
Headquarters: Niiza, Saitama, Japan · Founded: 1946 · Employees: 2,683
