Kyocera chalks out plan for new manufacturing plant in Nagasaki

To expand its production capacity, Kyocera Corporation plans to build a manufacturing plant on 37 acres of land in Isahaya City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The company’s vision for a new plant in Isahaya City comes amid plans to increase production capacity both domestically and internationally, at a time when existing Kyocera campuses have little or no room to expand, said a release from the company. The choice of Isahaya City was based on many attributes necessary to optimize future business development, including the area’s convenient transportation options, excellent human resources, and superior local infrastructure including energy.

Kyocera has made an offer to acquire approximately 150,000 square meters (about 37 acres) in the Minami Isahaya Industrial Park. It predicted the new plant would be ready to begin operations by 2026. Kyocera aims to achieve sales of JPY 2 trillion in its current fiscal year (ending March 31, 2023) and has set a long-term sales target of JPY 3 trillion by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2029. The company’s capital investment is expected to reach a record high of JPY 200 billion in the current fiscal year, mainly due to strong demand for components related to advanced semiconductors.
