Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation (日本ケミコン株式会社, Nippon Kemikon Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese corporation that produces capacitors and other discrete electronic components.

Nippon Chemi-Con was founded in 1931 by Toshio Satoh as the first electrolytic capacitors production in Japan.[3]

Their conductive polymer capacitors are favored by many motherboard and power supply manufacturers.[citation needed]

Price Fixing

On March 22, 2018 the European Union fined Nippon Chemi-Con €98 million, among other companies including Hitachi Chemical, of price-fixing.[4]
