Yageo, the world's second-largest provider of passive electronic components, intends to acquire Shibaura Electric, aiming to offer a comprehensive 'one-stop' solution that fully addresses customer requirements. Currently, Yageo supplies vital components to technology giants including Apple and NVIDIA, with its products encompassing nearly 90% of the passive components found on printed circuit boards of electronic devices globally. This strategic acquisition will enable Yageo to broaden its market reach in AI and automotive sectors, while infusing Shibaura with resources to bolster its R&D capabilities and facilitate its entry into the European and American markets.
