- Shinko Electric signed two Mobara-related purchase agreements on September 30, 2026.

Shinko Electric agreed on September 30, 2026 to acquire Japan Display's Mobara plant in Chiba for advanced semiconductor packaging, according to PR TIMES. The transaction positions the 373,482.91-square-meter site as a new core facility for flip-chip packages used in advanced semiconductors.
What the Mobara deal means
Shinko Electric plans to retain the eastern area for its own production, while its partner FICT is set to receive the western area covering 232,744.59 square meters. The company said the move adds capacity to existing expansion plans in Nagano and responds to demand for larger and more complex packages for artificial intelligence accelerators.
The structure also links the plant to an existing supplier relationship. Shinko Electric purchases components made by FICT and leases part of an FICT-owned building, according to the company release. The planned division keeps the two businesses on one site while assigning separate operating areas.
What dates shape the project
The next milestones are March 31, 2027, for the planned handover from Japan Display and the transfer to FICT, followed by a targeted operating start in fiscal 2028. East Asia Brief reported on October 12, 2026 that the handover schedule remained tied to March 31, 2027 and that commercial output was planned for fiscal 2028.
The timetable makes execution the central issue for the project. Equipment planning, site conversion and production qualification must be completed before fiscal 2028 output can begin, while the company has not yet published a detailed investment schedule in the cited release.
Stock status after delisting
Shinko Electric's IR archive states that its shares were delisted from the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange on June 6, 2025. The company now presents the Mobara project as part of its effort to strengthen long-term production capacity and corporate value.
