Kyocera Acquires New Industrial Site
Kyocera Corporation has announced its decision to acquire an industrial site for plant construction in Ayabe City, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.
The area extends over Mikata-cho and Shimoyata-cho in Ayabe and was formerly the plant site of Kamei Textile KK. The total size of the site is 22 hectares.
Kyocera was founded in Kyoto City in 1959 and now has its head office and Fushimi Operations Center in the southern part of the city but has had no major production base in Kyoto Prefecture. Chairman Emeritus Inamori, the company's founder, has been considering the construction of a key plant in Kyoto to activate the local economy and to create job opportunities in the region and this move is in part fulfilling this aim while also responding to a request last summer from Kyoto Prefectural Governor Teiichi Aramaki that Kyocera consider building a plant on a site developed by the prefecture as part of its strategic policy of attracting new enterprises.
