Koito Manufacturing Co., Ltd. manufactures and markets automotive lighting equipment, aircraft parts, electrical equipment, and other products. The company produces light-emitting diode (LED), discharge, and halogen headlamps; fog lamps; side turn signal lamps; LED rear combination lamps; interior and exterior aircraft lights; caution warning panels; hydraulic equipment; ship lights; destination indicators; road traffic control systems; and LED displays. Koito operates through geographic segments including Japan, North America, China, Asia, Europe, and other regions, serving major automakers such as Toyota Motor Corporation, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Mazda Motor Corporation, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors Company. Founded on April 1, 1915 and incorporated on April 1, 1936, Koito maintains its head office in Sumitomo Fudosan Osaki Twin Bldg. East, Tokyo, Japan. In recent developments, Koito completed its acquisition of Cepton Technologies Inc., a U.S.-based lidar solutions provider, in early 2025 to bolster automotive sensing capabilities and next-generation mobility technologies. The company invests 33 billion yen through fiscal 2028 to construct a new automotive lighting plant in Mexico and expand facilities in Brazil, targeting production capacity increases of approximately 60% in Mexico and 70% in Brazil by fiscal 2026 to meet rising demand from Japanese and U.S. manufacturers; it also announced a share repurchase program in May 2025.
