Pioneering spirit: it’s in our DNA

KYOCERA started as a small, suburban factory, with no money, credentials or reputation. We had nothing to rely on but a little technology and 28 trustworthy colleagues. Nonetheless, the company experienced rapid growth because everyone exerted their maximum efforts and managers devoted their lives to earning the trust of employees. We wanted to be an excellent company where all employees could believe in each other, abandon selfish motives, and be truly proud to work.

Our founder’s vision became the foundation of KYOCERA’s management and we strive to preserve these values in everything we do. In today’s fast-moving world, they are more important than ever to keep us focused on the customer.

Human minds are said to be easily changeable. What our founder Dr. Kazuo Inamori discovered is that nothing is stronger than the human mind. KYOCERA developed into what it is today because it based on the bonds of human minds. Our founder used his insights to create a unique philosophy that we use every day as a cornerstone of our business.
