Company continues to execute on its fab-liter strategy; closed sale of Japan fab

PHOENIX – Dec. 1, 2022 – onsemi (Nasdaq: ON), a leader in intelligent power and sensing technologies, today announced the completion of the sale of its Niigata, Japan facility to JS Foundry K.K. The divestiture aligns with onsemi’s fab-liter strategy to expand gross margin and improve predictably of its financial results by reducing fixed cost footprint.

JS Foundry K.K. was founded through a partnership between Mercuria Investment Co., Ltd. (Mercuria) and Sangyo Sosei Advisory Corporation Inc. (SSA). Mercuria, a subsidiary of Mercuria Holdings Co., Ltd. (a listed company on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange) is one of the leaders in the Japanese alternative investment space and its investments cover different industries including manufacturing and service industries. SSA is the first financial advisor in Japan specializing in the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) industry, with world-class financial advice and a network of cross-border transactions connecting domestic and international clients on a variety of transformational projects. Through their partnership, they established JS Foundry K.K. to be a Japanese-owned Foundry company to supply semiconductors to Japanese customers.

“After an in-depth search for a buyer for the last two years, we are confident to have found the right partner for the facility in JS Foundry K.K.,” said Hassane El-Khoury, president and chief executive officer of onsemi. “As always, when making decisions about our manufacturing structure and facilities across the globe, we consider the well-being of employees and seek to create a smooth transition for everyone involved. We look forward to a bright future for JS Foundry KK and Niigata employees, who we thank for their hard work and commitment to onsemi.”

JS Foundry K.K. is planning to use the site as the foundation for its new foundry business in Japan. To ensure continuity of supply to its existing customers, onsemi has entered into a wafer supply agreement with JS Foundry K.K. to continue existing wafer fabrication at the site.
