1. Background and Strategic Rationale for the Transfer
Guided by our corporate mission to “Contribute to culture and industry through creativity,” and driven by our core values of “Vision, Courage, and Trust,” TDK has set forth its long-term strategic vision, "TDK Transformation," which outlines goals for the next decade. As the first step in this journey, we have launched a new three-year medium-term management plan starting from the fiscal year ending March 2025. This plan is built upon three key pillars: strengthening cash flow management, enhancing business portfolio optimization, and advancing innovation through the evolution of our "ferrite trees" initiative. As part of this strategic realignment, we have conducted a thorough review of our Micro Actuator Solution business, in which we develop, design, manufacture, and sell Camera Module Actuators (hereinafter referred to as CMAs) used in various applications such as smartphones.
While we are proud to have led the development and innovation of CMAs over the years—delivering advanced solutions that have been widely adopted across multiple market products—the competitive landscape has significantly evolved. After careful consideration of the situation this business and the industries related, we have determined that the CMAs business will be better positioned for future success under a new ownership structure.
QT Investment is actively expanding its businesses in the global markets, is the ideal partner to take this business forward. We are confident that QT Investment will build upon the foundation we have established and elevate the business to new heights.
This strategic transfer reflects our commitment to continuously strengthening our business foundation and focusing our resources on areas where we can achieve long-term value creation.
