Due to rapidly growing demand related to AI servers, Murata Manufacturing will expand its MLCC factory. Murata Manufacturing President Norio Nakajima said in an interview on the 13th that "we are evaluating expanding production capacity in regions familiar with Murata Manufacturing's production and manufacturing methods... adjustments are underway, and we hope to make it in time for the earnings announcement at the end of the month." Murata is currently in discussions with equipment suppliers and is evaluating the acquisition of the necessary plant facilities. Murata previously announced plans to invest approximately 80 billion yen in MLCC production equipment over the two-year period ending in fiscal 2027. This time, Nakajima stated that "we are evaluating how much the investment timeline can be moved up."
