Takeda Pharmaceutical is Japan's largest pharmaceutical company, with revenue of JPY 4.3 trillion in fiscal 2023.

Its geographic footprint is well diversified, with 50% derived from the US, 20% from Japan, 20% from Europe and Canada.
Microchip Technology became an independent company in 1989 when it was spun off from General Instrument. More than half of revenue comes from MCUs, which are used in a wide array of electronic devices from remote controls to garage door openers to power windows in autos. The company's strength lies in lower-end 8-bit MCUs that are suitable for a wider range of less technologically advanced devices, but the firm has expanded its presence in higher-end MCUs and analog chips as well.
