Japan's Rohm to buy U.S. sensor-maker Kionix

Published: 12 Oct 2009 23:08:00 PST

TOKYO, Oct 13 - Japanese specialty chipmaker Rohm Co Ltd said on Tuesday that it will buy all the shares of U.S. MEMS sensor-maker Kionix Inc for an undisclosed sum as it seeks growth in the motion sensor business.

Rohm, which last year bought the semiconductor operations of Oki Electric Industry Co, aims to close the deal and acquire the unlisted Ithaca, New York-based firm by year-end.
