Review of Malaysian Operations Gives Taiyo Yuden Room to Improve

摘要

Within this year, Taiyo Yuden (Sarawak) Sdn. Bhd. aims to acquire ISO 14001 certification for environmentally sound manufacturing activities. This is just one of the improvements management has targeted for this period, while the market remains slack. Taiyo Yuden Sarawak makes laminated ceramic capacitors. However, the industry malaise has dulled demand for these and many other electronic products. Says Katsumasa Omae, Managing Director, "We have to accept that we are facing hard times. We have to find a way to take advantage of this situation, to view it as an opportunity, and to do what we can now."
