May 15, 2025 /SemiMedia/ — Murata Manufacturing plans to construct a new production building at its Ho Chi Minh facility in Vietnam to expand inductor coil output amid growing demand from the automotive and electronics sectors.

The expansion, set to begin in May 2025, will add 10,576 square meters of floor space and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2026. The company will invest approximately JPY 3 billion, covering both construction and production equipment.

Murata said the project is part of its long-term strategy to enhance supply capacity for passive components used in vehicles, power management systems, and high-frequency communications. The move highlights Vietnam’s increasing role in the global electronics manufacturing network.

The new building will be dedicated to coil production, helping to secure mid- to long-term supply stability for global clients in the automotive and ICT industries.
