Profile

[Company strength]
We have developed LED-related products since our foundation as an LED manufacturer.  We have an integrated manufacturing system that enables us to perform everything from design to production internally and to provide full support to customers before and after product introduction.   We not only materialize what customers request, but also provide unique proposals based on our ideas according to each customer's usage.  In the case of Takayama Land, for example, we focused on full color lighting pattern control  according to client needs during our development processes, which kept the total cost lower than expected.

[Business description]
We are a venture enterprise founded in 1992 in Kyoto.  We developed full-color LEDs before anyone else.  We design, develop, manufacture, and sell semiconductor parts such as full color chip LED, as well as LED lights and related products.  We set up a new factory in Okaya City (Nagano Prefecture) in addition to our main Fukuyama Factory, in order to respond to various requests from customers in the Kanto and Chukyo regions and offer increased convenience.  We particularly excel in semi- and fully-customized products, with our capabilities of adding another idea to customer requests and planned usage.   We aim to decrease stress on the environment through our development of power-saving LEDs.  We will contribute to society and people by creating and exploiting “lights”.
