Two years ago, this company was experiencing its largest-ever losses since its founding.
Merge-in talks fell through, it couldn't go public, and the industry was worried about its future.
But now, its operating profit is 876.2 billion yen.
And it's said that it might surpass Toyota next fiscal year.
The company's name is Kioxia.
It was formerly known as Toshiba Memory.
What happened in two years?
• No dramatic reforms were implemented. They're still making the same products in the same factories.
• In the fiscal year ending March 2024, they recorded their largest-ever losses of 243.7 billion yen.
• The price decreases the more you produce—the fate of the silicon cycle.
• Competitors moved to the "more profitable" option.
• They couldn't move because they were a specialist. That's why they stayed there.
They didn't stop development even during the two years of losses.
In 1987, this technology was invented by a Japanese person.
Forty years later, after handing the technology over to Samsung in 1992...
Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, and Kitakami, Iwate Prefecture.
These two factories produce components that support AI worldwide.
Moving can give you the feeling of accomplishment.
Waiting offers no sense of progress.
Tanaka, with 20 years of experience in overseas sales for a manufacturer, will share the amazing stories of Japanese companies and their predecessors that he has witnessed around the world.
Please read to the end.
