Japan’s Kyocera to build electronic parts plant in Vietnam

Kyocera Corp. (6971) said Wednesday that it will spend 30 billion yen to construct an electronic parts and telecommunications equipment factory in Vietnam.

To be located in the suburbs of Hanoi on approximately 400,000 sq. meters of land, the plant will be on a par with Kyocera’s largest overseas factory in China. It will churn out electronic components used in cellular phones, personal computers and other devices, as well as copiers for subsidiary Kyocera Mita Corp. Output is expected to start at the end of 2012, with volume to be decided later.

The parts and equipment will be exported to China, Europe, the U.S. and Japan.

“We’re expanding facilities in areas of Asia outside of China, where we already have a manufacturing base,” President Tetsuo Kuba said Wednesday.
