A word from our President

After getting established in 1976, the Taiyo Electric Co., Ltd. has poured significant resources
over the years developing an integrated production line for high-density packaged circuitboards that extends from primary processing to final assembly. Our business has continued togrow successfully thanks to the recommendations of our user base, for which we are truly
grateful.
From the time of our foundation, we’ve conducted business according to our basic
management philosophy founded on the tenets of “the customer is number one”, “group wideparticipation”, and “respect for human beings”. In order to further improve on the extensive
know-how in manufacturing we’ve built upon over many years and continue to grow as astable supplier, in 2003 (Heisei Year 15) we received ISO-9001 certification which has been
well received from our customers.
Furthermore, in recent years we’ve started to ramp up sales of our Ion mat product line inaddition to OEM production, and we are still developing this sales activity today with the aimof becoming a reliable supplier that can offer consistent quality.
We look forward to your continued business, support and encouragement.
