- Hosiden Corporation manufactures and sells electronic components, including electro-mechanical components such as connectors, jacks, and switches; acoustic components such as microphones, headphones, headsets, speakers, and receivers; display components such as LCD units and touch panels; and applied equipment such as remote controls and solenoids. The company operates in four main segments—mechanical parts, acoustic components, display devices, and composite parts—serving markets including automotive, mobile communications, amusement, medical, healthcare, and telecommunications, with approximately 35% of sales from the automotive sector. Founded in 1950 and headquartered in Yao City, Osaka, Japan, Hosiden maintains manufacturing and sales operations across Asia, Europe, and North America through subsidiaries such as Hosiden Vietnam, Hosiden Kyushu, and Hosiden Europe.
Hosiden expands production capacity outside China amid U.S. tariff considerations and economic security measures, including construction of Vietnam Plant No. 8 (24,000 square meters, solar panels on roof, completion in fiscal 2025) to relocate U.S.-market production from China facilities ending operations by fiscal year-end 2025, and a new India factory starting operations in fiscal 2026 for air-conditioner remote controls and in-vehicle microphones. The company advances carbon neutrality initiatives with solar panel installations at multiple sites, targeting 42% Scope 1/2 and 25% Scope 3 CO2 reductions by fiscal 2030 versus fiscal 2023, achieving a CDP climate change score of B in 2024. In November 2025, Hosiden authorizes a share buyback of up to 2 million shares (3.93% of capital) for 4.2 billion yen and reports first-half fiscal 2025 net sales of 245.4 billion yen (up 111.3% year-over-year, driven by amusement segment growth), with full-year sales forecast revised upward to 440 billion yen and operating profit to 16 billion yen. New product launches in 2025 include high-frequency current sensors, touch sensors for in-vehicle door handles, temperature/humidity sensor modules, vibration sensors, and Matter modules.
