Murata Manufacturing has broadened the scope of its integrated passive solutions offering by opening a new production line at its site in Caen, France.
Murata Manufacturing Co’s president, Norio Nakajima, said: “The components created at our Caen site utilise highly advanced technologies for a wide variety of purposes. From the ubiquitous smartphones that contain hundreds of capacitors to vehicles that incorporate thousands, our products are foundational to modern technology.
“With the launch of this new line, we are continuing to invest in growing our production facilities and our local workforce. It represents a significant step forward in our growth in the sector and demonstrates our determination to reinvest in the European electronics industry, well supported by Europe through the Chips Act and IPCEI initiatives.”
The Silicon Capacitors manufactured by Murata in this factory are used in demanding applications such as implantable medical systems, telecommunication infrastructures and mobile phones.
