The history of Taitsu is a history of technological innovation. Starting with the first mass production of polyethylene terephthalate film capacitors in Japan, which we began in 1957, we have achieved a great number of innovations in the field of film capacitors. With our comprehensive strength enabled by our expertise accumulated over the years, state-of-the-art facilities, and a wealth of human resources, we have been offering capacitors with next-generation performance to customers aiming to create products with higher value. These roots of Taitsu permeate not only our production bases in Japan but also our overseas locations. As a result of our systems, performance record, and confidence in our abilities, we can supply capacitors with high-level specifications and high reliability to any customer in Japan, Asia, and the United States.
Capacitors are essential components of electronic equipment. Taitsu’s strength is in plastic film capacitors. Since our founding in 1951, we have secured a large market share globally as we continue to innovate and tackle challenges in the development, manufacture, and supply of capacitors. We pursue development of products with high quality and reliability in a wide variety of markets such as automotive, industrial, and consumer. We have also been proactive in overseas expansion of our business in anticipation of globalization. We now have bases in Japan and other parts of the world including the United States, Shanghai, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. We have established a global supply network that enables us to supply high-quality capacitors demanded by customers whenever necessary, in the required quantity, and without interruption even in times of disaster. With this secure supply system, we are ready to meet the expectations of our customers operating in Japan and overseas.
