Denso and chips giant ROHM have agreed to start consideration of strategic partnership in the semiconductor field.

The two companies said they have been working together through trade and development of semiconductors for automotive applications. Going forward, both companies will consider this partnership to achieve a stable supply of highly reliable products, they said.

To further solidify the partnership, Denso will acquire a portion of Rohm’s shares.

Denso Corporation President & CEO, Shinnosuke Hayashi said: “Rohm has a lineup of semiconductors in a wide range of areas important for automotive electronics, including analog semiconductors, power devices, and discrete semiconductors, and has extensive mass production experience. We believe that by integrating the automotive technologies and expertise we have cultivated over the years, we will be able to ensure a stable supply and accelerate technological development.”

Rohm President (Representative Director), Isao Matsumoto, said that Denso and Rohm have been deepening collaboration for many years, and in recent years have been working on joint development of analog semiconductors.

“We believe that the partnership with Denso and the acquisition of shares by Denso will further strengthen our cooperative relationship,” he said.
