TDK Corporation(6762.T)
HQ JP12% share
TDK Corporation (Tokyo; TYO: 6762; ~¥2.1T revenue) is a Japanese electronic components manufacturer — historically known for magnetic recording materials, ferrite cores, capacitors, and inductors — that became a major battery company via its 2005 acquisition of ATL (Amperex Technology Limited). TDK's Energy Application Products segment (which includes ATL and TDK's own battery brands) represents approximately 30-35% of TDK group revenue. TDK also manufactures lithium-ion cells under the CeraCharge and TDK brand for small-format applications (IoT sensors, wearables, hearing aids). Combined ATL+TDK represents more than 50% of Apple's annual iPhone battery cell supply. TDK's other major businesses include MEMS sensors (barometric pressure, magnetic), power supplies, and noise suppression components — all supplied to the same consumer electronics OEMs that buy ATL cells.
Honeywell(HON)
HQ US
Major HFO refrigerant producer (Solstice® brand); produces next-generation low-GWP refrigerants as replacement for HFCs under Kigali phasedown. Also makes building automation and cold storage controls.
Murata Manufacturing(6981.T)
HQ JP
Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Nagaokakyo, Kyoto; TSE: 6981; ~¥2T revenue) is a Japanese electronic components manufacturer that acquired Sony Energy Devices Corporation (Sony's battery division) in 2017 for approximately $142M, inheriting Sony's 18650 cylindrical cell manufacturing expertise. Murata's battery division produces lithium-ion cells and battery packs for professional electronics, wearables, and medical devices. Murata's 18650 cells are used in some professional radio battery packs — the same cell format used in laptop batteries and early Tesla vehicles. Murata's battery manufacturing operates from Koriyama (Fukushima Prefecture), inherited from Sony. Despite the Sony heritage, Murata is a smaller player vs. Chinese Li-ion manufacturers in commodity applications but retains premium positioning in high-reliability professional electronics where Sony's quality legacy matters.
