According to a Nikkei report, as AI-driven demand increasingly extends from semiconductors to a broader range of electronic components, MinebeaMitsumi will invest ¥58 billion (approximately $360 million) to expand capacity for precision bearings used in cooling equipment and storage devices for AI data centers. The Japanese manufacturer plans to raise its total bearing capacity by about 30% to over 500 million units per month through investments at its Southeast Asian production sites. The company plans to introduce advanced equipment that can boost production efficiency by about 60%, with construction expected to begin this year and production potentially starting as early as fiscal 2028.
