Aratas America LLC Officially Launches as Independent Company Following Rebrand from OMRON Electronic Components

Corporate transition marks the next phase in the company’s growth, supported by a continued commitment to technological innovation

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aratas America LLC, the trusted innovative technology solutions provider, today officially launches as an independent company following the transfer of shares held by OMRON Corporation to The Carlyle Group.

Established in July 2026, Aratas America LLC builds on OMRON’s more than 90 years of engineering expertise and its legacy of innovation, quality and customer collaboration. As an independent organization, Aratas will build on this strong foundation while sharpening its focus on growth markets, strengthening its capabilities and accelerating innovation across its global operations.

“Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Aratas,” said Judy Connors, President & COO at Aratas America LLC. “We are combining the strength of our heritage with the agility, focus, and investment needed to accelerate innovation and drive future growth. Empowered by our talented employees, deep customer relationships, and industry-leading technologies, we are well positioned to move faster, invest boldly, and create lasting value for all our stakeholders.”

The company will continue to deliver precision electronic components that underpin today’s most critical technologies. Its portfolio spans relays, switches, connectors, and sensors supporting various applications across automotive, industrial automation, AI infrastructure, data centers, smart buildings, gaming, agriculture, smart energy, and power tools. For decades, the company has worked alongside customers such as Itron and KS Technologies to deliver reliable electronic component technologies that support critical applications and help enable innovation across industries. These enduring partnerships reflect the trust customers place in Aratas’ engineering expertise, product quality and commitment to technological innovation.

The name “Aratas” combines the Japanese words for “new” and “tomorrow,” reflecting the company’s Japanese heritage, where Aratas is headquartered, as well as its forward-looking vision and commitment to shaping the future through advanced electronic component technologies. Guided by its mission to connect people and technology, Aratas is guided by three core values:

• Aspire: We combine ambition and passion to continually pursue new standards.
• Agile: We work with flexibility and speed to turn change into new value.
• Ahead: We use our foresight to propose solutions that power tomorrow.

As part of its transition to an independent company, Aratas has revisited its business strategy and identified five strategic pillars that will guide its future growth:

• Focus on growth markets and expanding order intake
• Strengthen product development capabilities
• Enhance global manufacturing and supply capabilities
• Explore medium- to long-term growth opportunities
• Drive management and organizational transformation

Aratas has already begun advancing initiatives aligned with these priorities. In June 2026, the company approved plans to relocate and expand its Malaysia manufacturing facility, supporting its efforts to strengthen global manufacturing and supply capabilities. The factory will increase its production capacity to 1.5 times its current level in anticipation of business growth.

Aratas America LLC’s new North American headquarters is located at 2000 Center Drive Suite B223, Hoffman Estates, Illinois, 60192.
