Company information:
Kenwood Corporation is one of Japan's largest and most successful
consumer-oriented electronics companies. Incorporated as Kasuga Radio
Company in 1946, a young group of entrepreneurs had decided to take
advantage of the growing market for postwar consumer products. Since much
of Japan had been destroyed by the effects of World War II, the nation was
eager and ready to re-create its national economy. One of the worldwide
burgeoning markets included electronic equipment, so the Kasuga Radio
Company was established in Nagano, Japan, to manufacture sophisticated
high-fidelity electronic components and amateur radio equipment. Within a
short time, the company was one of the leading electronic consumer
products companies in the nation, and in 1949 Kasuga Radio Company made a
major leap in technology-intensive manufacturing when it introduced the
very first high-frequency transformer. Visit the company's website for
more information on their history.
