SDK Launches New HD Media Production Site in Yamagata
Showa Denko K.K.
July 1, 2009
Showa Denko K.K. (SDK) today started up Showa Denko HD Yamagata K.K., a new hard disk (HD) media production subsidiary located in Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. The site is SDK’s fourth HD media production site in the world following the existing sites in Chiba Prefecture (Japan), Singapore and Taiwan.
The new subsidiary has been established as a result of the transfer to SDK of Fujitsu Limited's HD media business.
SDK will step up development and production at Showa Denko HD Yamagata to ensure stable supply of the product to customers. Fully utilizing the rich stock of technologies at the new subsidiary, SDK will aim to soon realize synergies in R&D and production.
As the world's largest independent HD media supplier, SDK will continue developing and supplying large-capacity HD media to meet customer needs.
