Kyocera Corporation

Kyocera Corporation is an electronic device, information equipment, and telecommunications equipment manufacturing company headquartered in Kyoto, Japan. The company’s success has depended on its differentiated technology in ceramic manufacturing at the first stage. This technology was first sold to produce a part in TV CRT monitors, which boomed in the 1960s right after the company’s launch. Since its founding in 1959, the company has been continuously exploring technological, product, and business development backed by its strong entrepreneurial mindset. This mindset is nurtured by the “Kyocera philosophy,” the most important vision and motto of the company, which educates and encourages employees to grow themselves, respect others, and behave for all. This philosophy was advocated by the founder, Kazuo Inamori.
