Unimicron signs letter of intent to sell Japan unit to Meiko Electronics

Unimicron said its board has approved the signing of a letter of intent with Japanese printed circuit board maker Meiko Electronics for a proposed sale of all shares in its Hokkaido-based subsidiary, UNIMICRON JAPAN CO., LTD. The companies are still at the preliminary LOI stage, and the final transaction value and terms have not been set. Those details will be subject to further negotiations and formal board approvals on both sides. Unimicron said the planned disposal is aimed at activating assets, lowering the cost of cross-border operations, and concentrating corporate resources on higher-margin product lines. The report also pointed to the company’s purchase of a plant in Hukou, Hsinchu for more than NT$10 billion in September, a move tied to expansion of advanced AI substrate capacity and seen as a sign that its production focus has shifted.
