 International expansion

 While the company’s main facility was in Japan. It started expanding its operations to other countries. The first major expansion move was in 2016 when it constructed a production facility in Kelantan Malaysia. Production activities began at the facility a year later (2017).

ROHM further expanded the Malaysian-based production facility in 2022 and the operations commenced in 2023.

With these expansion moves, the company was able to delegate production activities and at the same time give room for the specialization of production. For instance, the main production plant in Japan focused on the manufacturing of discrete semiconductor components. The expanded facility focused on the production of passive electronic components.

Beyond the production facilities, ROHM  has also expanded its distribution facilities over the years that it has been in operation. The company has set up several distribution and service centers around the world. Each center is stocked with all the electronic parts that are manufactured by the company.

The distribution and service centers are also used for providing customer services to the clients. Whether you want technical or non-technical help, you can be sure of getting it from a ROHM distributor near you.

To increase its grip in the field of electronic components, ROHM has partnered with independent distributors so that they can supply and distribute the company’s products. Most of these distributors tend to specialize in electronic components. They source original products directly from ROHM and then distribute them to their customers. With such a functional distribution network, it will be easier for the company to expand its reach to a wider market.

Building solid relationships with  partners

ROHM attributes its growth and stability to the healthy relationships that it has been building with all the stakeholders in the electronics and technological industries.

The company has built corporate relationships with other businesses in the industry,  a key factor that has largely contributed to its linear expansion. For instance, in the first quarter of 2024, it allied with Toshiba’s Semiconductor division.

ROHM has also partnered with STMicroelectronics to expand its silicon carbide wafer supply agreement. This would streamline the company’s supply of its core raw materials that are used for making electronic components.

Beyond the partnerships, ROHM  is also committed to sustainability. It adheres to all the standards and regulations set by various environmental bodies.
