With Kyoshin Kogyo Co., Ltd. at its core, the Connected Terminal Division is run by three companies: Kyoshin Kogyo, Kyoshin Vietnam Co., Ltd. and Kyoshin Industry Asia Pte Ltd.
Kyoshin Kogyo was established in 1965, and since then has developed products under the theme of "connection" and "(heat) release." These products have been used to manufacture a number of products seen commonly in everyday life.
Tab terminals are mounted on power supplies and control circuits to relay electric currents in a wide range of products, including automobiles, electric appliances and flat TVs. Taping terminals are mounted on power supplies and control circuits in a variety of electric appliances. Automatic tape insertion machines are used to manufacture these terminals, which are mainly used to make flat TVs, IH cooking heaters, hybrid vehicles, power converters and other products.
Kyoshin also has 3D measuring equipment, X-ray analyzers, and other measuring instruments for environmental assessment. By always considering quality and environmental impact, the Company develops and manufactures products.
In 1984, Kyoshin established the Kawagoe Factory in Saitama Prefecture, followed by two other factories: one in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture, and one in Goshogawara, Aomori Prefecture. In addition of owning and running these three factories in Japan, in 1999, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary in Vietnam: Kyoshin Vietnam Co., Ltd. Based on a wealth of accumulated experience, Kyoshin has a comprehensive, consistent process ranging from concept design to development and manufacturing to product performance evaluation. The company has a sale?? office in Tokyo and, in addition, has a sales office in Osaka and a sales subsidiary in Singapore.
