Aiming for 100 billion yen in revenue in the semiconductor back-end equipment business by the early 2030s
Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. and Yamaha Robotics Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “YRH”) have formulated a Medium- to Long-Term Management Plan for Yamaha Robotics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “YRC”), a new subsidiary to be established on July 1, 2025.
YRC will be created through the merger of YRH, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and its own wholly owned subsidiaries of Shinkawa Ltd., Apic Yamada Corporation, and PFA Corporation. YRC will be engaged in the development, manufacturing, and sales of semiconductor back-end processing equipment and electronic component assembly devices.
YRC aims to achieve revenue of over 50 billion yen by the end of Yamaha Motor’s current Medium-Term Management Plan period in 2027 and 100 billion yen by the early 2030s through a variety of moves targeting business growth and organizational evolution.
To achieve this goal, YRC will implement initiatives from two perspectives: business growth and organizational evolution.
For business growth, under the policy of “Take in earnings in our core areas and grow sales in the cutting-edge semiconductor field” the Company will introduce new platform models in its core areas, while in growth areas, it will focus investment on advanced semiconductors and promote the development of future business fields.
For organizational evolution, the establishment of YRC will promote the maximizing of synergies through cross-company activities, strengthening of the five core functions of the business (manufacturing, sales, technology, service, and corporate), and the enhancement of initiatives for human resources recruitment, training, and accomplishments.
In addition, efforts will be made to further strengthen overseas bases. To date, the Company has expanded its sales base in South Korea, its development base in Vietnam, and other facilities, and future plans call for establishing new sales and servicing bases in India, where further growth is expected.
Yamaha Motor and YRC aim to accelerate the creation of value and trust that exceeds customer expectations and become a world-leading total solutions provider in the fields of semiconductor back-end processing and electronic component mounting.
