OSAKA -- Panasonic Holdings aims to set up a new supply chain management company and seek a stock market listing for it, the Japanese technology group said on Wednesday.

The new unit is expected to consist of businesses centered around U.S.-based Blue Yonder, a supply chain management company that Panasonic acquired in 2021 through an investment of 860 billion yen ($6.6 billion at current rates).
