JEOL (TYO:6951) said Wednesday it will construct new buildings at its Akishima Main Office Plant in Tokyo and the Tendo Plant of JEOL Yamagata in Yamagata Prefecture as part of its "Evolving Growth 2.0" medium-term strategy.
The new facilities are aimed at strengthening the company's business foundation for sustainable growth by improving productivity and advancing smart factory initiatives, according to a Tokyo exchange filing.
The Akishima site will focus on R&D and production of high-end scientific and metrology instruments, while the Tendo plant is expected to support cost reduction and shorter production timelines, it added.
