components and the sharing of R&D resources, but also in the cooperation with

global end customers, Yageo's diversified high-end products can be fully

integrated and matched to the new business scope of Hon Hai Technology Group.

technological fields. The solid cooperation with Hon Hai will be able to

demonstrate the wisdom and advantages of Taiwan's manufacturing industry.

Through this strategic alliance, we will focus more on the development of new

customers and products with joint resources to meet global customers' needs

in the supply chain support and functional design development and come up

years, Yageo has cultivated deeply in key electronic components for electric

vehicles, smart healthcare, industrial specifications, 5G technology, and

special semiconductor packaging and testing and has shown many concrete

results in related areas. Through the cooperation with Hon Hai Group, we are

able to enlarge mutual technological benefits and resource sharing to

maximize the value of both groups and see multiple growths in the future."

In addition to its exceptional one-stop integrated services in the past 45

years, Hon Hai has been actively involved in the three new industries of

"electric vehicles, digital healthcare, and robotics" and the three new

technologies of "artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and new-generation

communication". "3+3" is the group's important long-term development

strategy and has made great strides in various new industries and gradually

established substantial progress and results.

After acquiring KEMET and Pulse, Yageo Group will not only focus on high-end

5G, automotive, industrial, aerospace, and medical segments, but also

provide the group's expertise and one-stop shopping platform in special

semiconductor packaging and testing from Tong Hsing, automotive inductors and

magnetic materials from Chilisin, and aluminum electrolytic capacitors from

Kaimei. Yageo Group certainly will become the best strategic partner for

Hon Hai Group in the development of electric vehicles, digital healthcare,

and robotics.

of Yageo Group attended the signing ceremony of the strategic alliance in

person. Jerry Kuo, CEO of Chilisin, Vincent Weng, Chairman of Kaimei, and

Heinz Ru, President of Tong Hsing, also signed the same strategic alliance

the world and has been providing world-class design-in services for a long

time and continuing to develop and produce high-end key specialty components.
