Following the completion of the new Koriyama Plant last June, Hirose Electric Co., Ltd. starts full-scale operation of the said plant this month. In relation, a completion ceremony for the new plant was also held.

The Deputy Director Sakaino of the Fukushima Prefectural Regional Promotion Bureau and the Mayor of Shinagawa from Koriyama City attended the ceremony.

The new Koriyama Plant is in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture in Japan. Since May, Hirose Electric has been moving equipment from the former Koriyama Plant to the new manufacturing plant.

In 2019, a major flood damaged the old Koriyama Plant. Along this light, the company built a new one to secure a stable product supply system to its customers. Also, Hirose Electric plans to increase capacity to expand sales for the general industrial machinery market, such as smart factories and social infrastructure, and for the automotive market, which is growing at an accelerated pace, such as autonomous driving.

Future Initiatives
