Kyocera Uses Ceramics and Semiconductor Parts to Expand Into Space and Fusion

Kyocera, often cited as a company that represents Kyoto, is moving to expand into the space and nuclear fusion fields with ceramics and semiconductor parts as its core. According to mk.co.kr, when Japanese people are asked to name a company that symbolizes Kyoto, six to seven out of ten think of Kyocera. The company name itself is an abbreviation of “Kyoto Ceramic,” showing its strong regional identity. Its founder is also described as a symbolic figure called a “god of management.” The key point ahead is whether its established materials and parts capabilities can extend into advanced industries.
