“As the ROHM Group Companies (ROHM, Kionix and LAPIS Semiconductor) work together in broadening what is already a prominent sensor portfolio, we saw the formation of this R&D centre not only as a synergetic initiative, but most opportunistic to take advantage of the existing engineering talent in the area,” said Nader Sadrzadeh, President & CEO, Kionix. “The contribution from this team will augment our existing R&D centres and further propel our company as a global leader in sensors and sensing solutions.”
