The founder's spirit, the venture spirit, is still powerful.  We look for people with leverage and vitality who can cope with difficult times and deliver ideas. Kuroi Electric Co.,Ltd. Established in Reizen-cho, Kyoto, on June 1, 1952 We supplied fluorescent lamps for ships to a major shipbuilder. In the 1960s, with the cooperation of Matsushita Electronic Co. Ltd (Presently Panasonic Corporation), we mass produced transistor radios. And later we expanded our business to tuners, antennas, and electronic circuit technology. In the 1970s, we developed Japanese style lighting fixtures which became very popular and sold well. We also developed emergency exit light equipment, and invented lighting dimmers for Matsushita Electric Works Co. Ltd. In 1978 the Tamba Factory was completed in the northern part of Kyoto prefecture. In the 1980s, we established Kuroi Glass Co. Ltd. (Presently Akari Glass Co. Ltd.) to make glassware for lighting fixtures.  We developed many sophisticated products, such as Pana-Arm Stand, In 1990 a corporate identity campaign was conducted. The company name, Kuroi, used to be in Chinese characters but it was changed to Katakana. In 1991 we received the Labor Minister's Prize for Effort (Hygienic Working Conditions) In 1993 we received the Labor Minister's Prize in Employment Development for Senior Citizens Contest In 1994 the pressing plant was completed in Tamba factory.  We received the Labor Minister' s Prize as a leading company for employment development for senior citizens. In 1996 the paint factory was completed in Tamba factory. In Oct. 1997 we were certified according to ISO-9001 (current Panasonic Eco Solutions Business Consulting & Training Certification). In Apr. 2000 we were certified according to ISO-14001.
