Sony he has been the partner for several years Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), which produces the image sensors that are implemented in the terminal rooms iPhone or tablets iPad, and considering the increasing number of products sold by those from Cupertino, Sony it is necessary to increase its production capacity. In this idea, the Asian company will invest no less than 376 million dollars to expand its production lines dedicated to the production of components for the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, all in order to continue to secure the orders of billions of dollars from those in Cupertino.
Sony Corp. plans to boost capacity for chips used in camera sensors, its second such increase announced this year, as it gears up to meet demand for the chips used in devices including Apple Inc.'s iPhone. The company will spend 45 billion yen ($376 million) to expand its Nagasaki and Yamagata TEC facilities in Japan, it said Tuesday in a statement.
The factories in Nagasaki and Yamagata will benefit from the serious investments made by Sony, all based on the increase in sales of CMOS sensors and the implicit increase in profit generated from their delivery to companies such as Apple. Those from Sony rely on the hardware divisions to generate a good part of the company's profit in the following years, so the expansion of the production capacities is absolutely necessary to maintain its supremacy among the producers of CMOS sensors.
