TDK and EPCOS Merger

The TDK Components Group and EPCOS AG deal was announced in Germany as a merger, while announced in Japan as an TDK acquisition of EPCOS AG.

The combined companies reveal a powerhouse in passive components- This would be #1 in Inductors, #2 in MLCC, number 3 in DC Film.

The total picture looks interesting- ceramic capacitors, chip and wirewound inductors/cores; DC Film capacitors, AC film capacitors; power aluminum capacitors, SAW filters, and a really interesting position in LTCC worldwide.
