IPad, Nintendo 3DS Sales May Boost Rohm Earnings, President Sawamura Says

Apple Inc.’s iPad and Nintendo Co.’s 3DS game player may help boost earnings at Rohm Co., which makes chips for the devices.

The products “will certainly help boost our sales,” Rohm President Satoshi Sawamura said yesterday in an interview, declining to specify details. “Apple and Nintendo are among our most important clients.”

Sawamura, who this month became the second president in Rohm’s 56-year history, is counting on Apple’s tablet computer and Nintendo’s 3-D portable game player to help sales rebound from the 12-year low in the year ended March 2009. He’s also seeking acquisitions to help the company sustain earnings growth.
