OMRON will invest ¥100 billion in the acquisition of US-based OnLogic, using proceeds from the sale of its founding business. It will also use the proceeds from the electronic components business sold in October, advancing the separation of its founding business and its shift toward a data-driven business.
OMRON will invest approximately ¥100 billion to acquire OnLogic, a US computer maker. The proceeds from the electronic components business sold in October are also expected to be used as a source of funding.
The acquisition target is OnLogic, based in Vermont, US. The company is reported to operate a computer-related business.
OMRON has set out a policy of shifting its corporate value toward GEMBA DX, which uses manufacturing-site data to solve customers' problems, by integrating its control technologies, including sensors and controllers, with data utilisation.
While proceeding with the separation of its founding business, OMRON aims to transform its business structure and grow its core control equipment business through data-driven operations.
