Hon Hai held its Tech Day technology event in Taipei and indicated that it would pursue contract manufacturing for Japanese automakers, using new EV models as a selling point. At the event, Jun Seki (関潤), CSO, presented the new models to Japanese executives while covering the business meetings. Hon Hai is already advancing a partnership with the Mitsubishi Motors group and emphasized its strategy of moving away from an in-house-only approach.
At major semiconductor company Renesas, internal documents and testimony from people familiar with the matter reportedly indicate that veteran engineers who refused requests to resign were transferred to a department described as an "expulsion room." The article depicts the extreme choices they faced amid restructuring and demotions.
Since Hokkoku Financial Holdings was established in 2004, factors obstructing integration have reportedly remained for many years. President Nakazawa Hiroshi (中澤宏) expressed the view that "reform cannot move forward unless one of the banks takes the lead." The challenges involved in future management integration and the creation of a single-bank structure are highlighted.
