About Kyocera
"Optimal" ceramic parts for customers. Bringing new value to the world.
The World Leader in Fine Ceramics
Kyocera was established in 1959 as a small workshop in Kyoto City where 28 young colleagues began producing ceramic insulators for TVs. Initially their goal was to be the No. 1 company on the street, but they had a bigger dream to become the No. 1 Fine Ceramics company (advanced ceramics company) in the world. With a strong will and pioneering spirit, their limitless efforts made this dream come true. Kyocera is now the world leader in Fine Ceramics (advanced ceramics).
Kyocera is a corporate group that diversifies and develops Fine Ceramic parts, electronic parts, machine tools, smartphones, multi-function machines, etc.
In addition to our wide range of businesses, we are able to meet the various needs of our customers based on our strong financial position.
Since its foundation, Kyocera has consistently maintained a profitable business and has expanded into a global enterprise with annual sales of more than $13 billion.
Founded in 1959, Kyocera started with just 28 employees. Now, after half a century, we have more than 77,000 employees worldwide.
We are engaged in research and development of materials and their application development. We create new technologies and develop new products with high quality and high reliability. We have production and development bases in Japan, the United States, and Germany, and provide a wide variety of products to the global market.
