SSC has highly skilled and experienced engineers in digital and analog, front-end and back-end, which enables it to develop products in a single integrated manner. ABLIC has been continuing to develop ultra-miniaturisation, low power consumption, and high precision technologies through the development and manufacture of CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) ICs for quartz watches since the companys foundation, and has provided solutions based on its “small, smart, and simple” products up to now. By combining SSCs advanced engineering and design expertise with ABLICs accumulated engineering and development skills and know-how, we will be able to further accelerate and expand this growth strategy and solidify our path to continuous growth,” Nobumasa Ishiai, President and CEO from ABLIC, said. This integration is also necessary and important for achieving the Groups mid-term target of 100 billion yen in sales for the fiscal year 2025.” ABLIC will strive for the new products being developed through the INTEGRATION activities by the two companies to differentiate ABLIC from its competitors more and to be delivered to more customers as high value-added products.
