Glossary of Electronic Components Notes for Using the Catalogs After more than 50 years of product development, Kyocera's Corporate Electronic Components Group expanded with the integration of Kyocera Crystal Device Corporation (formerly Kyocera Kinseki Corporation), Kyocera Connector Products Corporation (formerly Kyocera Elco Corporation), and the Corporate Functional Devices Group. In addition, Kyocera's Corporate Electronic Components Group and KYOCERA AVX Components Corporation (formerly AVX Corporation), a consolidated subsidiary of Kyocera, unified sales organizations to enhance the global sales capabilities, and will maximize synergy by combining the companies' resources of manufacture and development for further expansion of its global business. Electronic components are essential to all types of electronic equipment, from smartphones and wearable devices to industrial machines. Kyocera contributes to the advancement of electronics through cutting-edge technology and quality throughout the manufacturing process. We are a trusted global manufacturer of ceramic products with a strong financial position.We practice a "Customer-First" policy, offering products and services that exceed customer expectations. Since its founding, Kyocera has remained profitable every year, and has expanded into a global enterprise with annual sales of more than 2 trillion JPY. Founded in April 1959, first-year annual sales totaled 26 million JPY. Sixty years later, annual sales exceeded 2 trillion JPY, and we continue to aim for further growth and development. Kyocera started with only 28 employees At the age of 27, with a belief in his own engineering expertise, Kazuo Inamori (currently chairman emeritus) founded Kyoto Ceramics (now Kyocera Corporation) with seven other colleagues. With another 20 new college graduates, Kyocera started out with just 28 employees. They focused on producing the "U-shaped Kelcima," a component for television picture tubes, by utilizing a fine ceramics engineering technology Inamori had developed. Kyocera reached production volume of 200,000 units per month even though employees and equipment encountered limitations. At the time, the majority of ceramic parts for electric components were made outside of Japan, but whenever asked, "Can you make this type of product?" Kyocera immediately responded, "Yes, please leave it to us." Kyocera made its first steps by accepting jobs that others would not or could not pursue. Become a creative company that continues to grow Soon after its founding, Kyocera established its management rationale: "To provide opportunities for the material and intellectual growth of all our employees, and through our joint efforts, contribute to the advancement of society and humankind." Today, Kyocera has grown into a global enterprise with 279 group companies (as of March 31, 2026) about 73,000 employees, and more than 2 trillion yen in annual consolidated sales.Kyocera aims to become "The Company" — an enterprise which people all over the world would name first as the company that contributes most to the advancement of society. We can achieve this goal by continuing to grow through the practice of the Kyocera Philosophy, possessing a strong sense of duty, and fearlessly pursuing new possibilities.
