About

Renesas Electronics Corporation, a public Japanese semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, was established in April 2010. The company's name, a contraction of 'Renaissance Semiconductor for Advanced Solutions,' reflects its complex founding history: it originated from the 2002 merger of the semiconductor divisions of Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric (excluding their DRAM businesses) to form Renesas Technology, which subsequently merged with NEC Electronics in 2010 to create the current entity. Operating in the semiconductor industry, Renesas reported a substantial revenue of 1.35 trillion in 2024. While specific details regarding its product portfolio, employee count, market position, competitors, and key leadership are not provided in the available data, its financial performance indicates a significant presence in the global semiconductor market.
