Purpose of the merger
In October 2009, the Company split one of its key segments, the passive component business, and founded TDK-EPC. It then acquired EPCOS AG (now TDK Electronics AG), a large electronic component manufacturer in Germany, along with its subsidiaries, and made them subsidiaries of TDK-EPC to achieve organic integration at an early stage. Subsequently, in November 2014, all segments were integrated into the Company through simplified absorption-type company splits.
TDK-EPC fulfilled its initial purpose, and the Company has decided to absorb and merge TDK-EPC to make effective use of its management resources and increase its operation efficiency. -
