Following the sale, Meiko will acquire all shares and make it a wholly owned subsidiary, with the share transfer agreement scheduled to be signed in December 2026 and the business transferred within the same year. The sale price has not been disclosed.
Unimicron Technology determined, as part of its group-wide management strategy, that the operation of the subsidiary by a Japanese company would contribute to its sustainable development and its employees' career development. Meiko is proceeding with the construction of a plant in Vietnam in anticipation of growing PCB demand and has indicated that the acquisition is intended to quickly increase its production capacity in Japan. It aims to avoid concentrating production in Vietnam and enhance group value.
Established in 1984, Unimicron Japan manufactures and sells PCBs. For the fiscal year ended March 2026, it reported sales of ¥7.993 billion and an operating loss of ¥594 million.
In September 2025, Meiko announced plans to establish a joint venture in northern Vietnam with Taiwan's major PCB manufacturer Unitech Printed Circuit Board Corp., with the aim of producing and selling high-multilayer boards for artificial intelligence servers.
