Murata has a strong sales channel for electronic equipment worldwide, especially with passive components such as capacitors and module products. We have been expanding product lineups for monolithic capacitors, and simultaneously putting together business strategies for capacitor product domain outside of ceramic type models. Consequently, we have come to a decision to purchase the “Business” pertaining to low ESR*, high capacitance chip-type functional polymer capacitors from Showa Denko.
As a result of this move, Murata will be promoting functional polymer capacitors produced with Showa Denko technologies through our customer network. By adding Showa Denko’s functional polymer capacitors to our existing monolithic ceramic capacitor product group, we will have a synergic effect of being able to offer optimum capacitor solutions to our customers around the world.
