The story
Known and trusted by customers worldwide, the Aiwa brand is a powerful, competitive marketing tool. This is crucial given that Aiwa's products compete in the standard price range, where most products are sold. Brand image builds trust in a product and clarifies the value it contains.
Aiwa Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer of audio products, including headphone stereos, minicomponent stereo systems, portable stereo systems, minidisc players, CD and cassette players, and car stereo systems.
Aiwa has somewhat obscure beginnings. The company was founded in June 1951 as AIKO Denki Sangyo Co., Ltd., a maker of microphones. In June 1958 the company's stock was registered for over-the-counter trade. It changed its name to Aiwa Co., Ltd. in October 1959.
A key development came in February 1964 when Aiwa introduced the first Japanese cassette tape recorder, the TP-707. Cassette recorders, players, and decks became the company's core product area, and remained so through the late 1970s. In February 1967 Aiwa established another factory in Iwate. Two years later Sony Corporation purchased a majority interest in Aiwa, which became an affiliated company of Sony.
Aiwa nevertheless continued to operate in a largely independent fashion, and its stock remained publicly traded.
