Expanding Production and Sales Bases in China |
 |
|
|
Relations between Kyocera and China began in the mid-1980s. Repeated exchange with Chinese delegations set the foundation for a mutual linking of minds. The relationship materialized in 1987, when a Group company in Hong Kong began consignment production of compact cameras. Then, in 1994 we opened a representative office in Shanghai. The office studied business conditions in China and functioned as a window for negotiations with local bodies. Through these and other steps, relations with China grew and strengthened. Thereafter, we steadily opened and expanded production and sales bases.
The table below introduces the paths taken by five locally incorporated companies.

Naming of "Kyocera Road" in Shilong, Dongguan City, China |
|
|
|
| After Kyocera began business in Dongguan City in 1987, other Japanese manufacturers arrived one after another. The economy of Dongguan City developed rapidly. Stating, "People who drink from a well do not forget their debt to those who dug the well," the government of Shilong built very amiable relations with the first-comer, Kyocera. Praising Kyocera's contribution, the government named the road in front of SKO, Kyocera Road. |
