As
of the 12th January 2010, the business alliance between Sanyo and
Panasonic Corporation was completed. Part of this was to divest the Nickel
Metal-Hydride (except in Automobile application) and Lithium battery business
to FDK Corporation (a subsidiary of Fujitsu).
As
a result, FDK Corporation has acquired the Sanyo NiMH and Lithium plants,
including staff and processes, and will continue to produce the same level of
quality batteries that have kept Sanyo at the top of the battery industry.
The
brand Sanyo, for the above ranges will change to FDK. This will be a rolling
change as Sanyo branded stock sells out. The Eneloop brand remains with Sanyo.
