TOA Corporation Celebrated Its 90th Anniversary

TOA’s first president, NAKATANI Tsunetaro, founded the company in Kobe in 1934. Beginning with the production of microphones made with carbonized sugar, the company expanded into professional audio equipment such as fire evacuation announcement systems and video equipment such as security cameras. TOA has been able to continue doing business thanks to the generous patronage of our customers over the years as well as the support of our business partners, our shareholders, and our tremendously creative previous and current employees who have worked so hard to push the company forward. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere appreciation for everyone’s heartfelt support.

As part of efforts to embody our corporate values, “Smiles for the Public,” we are working to achieve Management Vision 2030 and its theme: Dr. Sound—becoming a professional organization that improves sound in society. To do this, we are accelerating our efforts to grow local business and global partnerships, strengthen our earnings base through a connected business model, and search for and create new growth fields. Through our audio notification capabilities, we will continue to help our customers build reassurance, reliability, and emotion—values that are close to their hearts—by providing innovative solutions with creative craftsmanship and services that further establish ourselves as a beloved and indispensable part of society, and a company whose employees find fulfillment in their jobs. We hope that we can continue to count on your support long into the future.
