The Japanese company, founded in 1959 and headquartered in Kyoto, focuses on its original product: technical ceramics. The founder of KYOCERA (an acronym for Kyoto Ceramics, which means "Kyoto Ceramics"), Dr. Kazuo Inamori, foresaw the great potential of this versatile material in the future. Today, KYOCERA Corporation is one of the world's leading manufacturers of fine ceramic components for the information service and communications industries. The activities of the KYOCERA Group, which currently comprises 226 separate enterprises (as of March 31, 2015), are primarily focused on three areas: information technology and communications, environmental protection and quality of life, which in turn include strategically important organizational units that deal with areas such as telecommunications, document management, products aimed at improving the quality of life (for example, in the medical sector - fine ceramic implants), and systems that use solar energy. The company is one of the leading manufacturers of solar modules in the world. Corporation slogan
