Murata Mfg. said Friday that it has established a Chinese production site in Foshan, Guangdong Province, to make ceramic materials used in electronic components.
The plant will be operated by a production company capitalized at $21.2 million, of which Murata invested 90%. The other 10% was put up by a rare-earth specialist in the China Minmetals group.
Operations will begin in June with around 20 workers. The facility will supply ceramic materials used in ceramic capacitorsThe main differences between ceramic dielectricThe insulating material between the plates of the capacitor. The material is chosen for its ability to permit electrostatic attraction and repulsion to take place across it. The material will have the property that energy required to establish an electric field is recoverable in whole or in part, as electric energy. In other words, a good dielectric material is a poor conductor of electricity while being an effective supporter of electrostatic fields. types are the temperature coefficient of capacitanceThat property of a system of conductors and dielectrics which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors. Its value is expressed as the ratio of a quantity of electricity to a potential difference. A capacitance value is always positive., and the dielectricThe insulating material between the plates of the capacitor.

Production volume has not been disclosed.
This is the company’s second plant for the materials, joining one in Shiga Prefecture.
Murata is opening the plant in response to growing Chinese demand for electronic parts used in smartphones. Locating the site in China also disperses production risk, ensuring that stable supply can continue even in the event of a disaster.
