        Kioxia, a major Japanese storage manufacturer, reportedly announced on June 2 the completion and official opening of two new R&D and design centers in Japan: Kioxia Yokohama Technology Park and Shin-Koyas Frontier Technology Center, also located in Yokohama. Both R&D centers took several years to build and will be used in the future for research and development of manufacturing in advanced storage technologies. Employees of the company's R&D functions have begun to move to the new premises.
 
 
        The size of Armor Man Yokohama Technology Park has doubled compared to the previous one, allowing Armor Man's ability to develop advanced storage chips and SSDs to be greatly enhanced, while allowing for improved product quality. The new building has an environmentally friendly design and is ZEB-Ready certified, allowing for more efficient energy use and up to 50% reduction in energy consumption. 
        Shin-Koyas Frontier Technology Center, which will develop cutting-edge semiconductor technology, including the development of new materials, processes and equipment. The center has a state-of-the-art clean room with the same environmentally friendly design concept. 
        Masaki Momodomi, Chief Technology Officer of Armor Man, said, "We are very pleased that Armor Man's new R&D facility is now operational. We have been leading innovation in flash memory products for 35 years since the invention of NAND flash memory. With these two new facilities, we will accelerate and deepen our R&D activities to deliver products, services and technologies that will support the digital society of tomorrow." 
        We learned that in addition to the development of next-generation storage technologies, Armor Man will also conduct research and development in other areas, including data center computer technology and artificial intelligence technology. The company will also collaborate with multiple universities, research institutions and companies to drive innovation.
