Globally, the company operates eight factories across Japan, China, Korea, Indonesia, and Malaysia, according to a statement.

Connectors form a critical backbone of modern electronics and automotive systems, enabling reliable power and data transmission across devices, control units, and electronic modules. From smartphones and consumer electronics to electric vehicles, advanced driver-assistance systems, and industrial equipment, connectors play an essential role in ensuring seamless integration of complex electronic architectures across the value chain.

This investment will further strengthen Tamil Nadu’s growing electronics and advanced manufacturing ecosystem, while supporting the localisation of critical components for global OEMs and electronics manufacturing services companies operating in the state, the release added.

The MOU was signed in the presence of Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and Minister for Industries Dr. T.R.B. Rajaa.
