Last updated: November 6, 2007
Company Description:
Anticipating social needs and filling them with pioneering technology. This describes the role Omron has played over its 70 year history. Omron founder Kazuma Tateisi, a brilliant inventor and determined salesman, tried his hand at a knife-grinder and trouser press before launching Tateisi Electric Manufacturing Co. in 1933 based on a need by hospitals for faster X-ray timers.
The 3-employee factory grew into Omron Corporation, today a US$5.5 billion plus global leader in sensing and control components with over 25,000 employees spread out across 35 countries.
In its trail Omron has left a string of developments that have revolutionized our lives, including several incredible world's firsts: non-contact proximity switch, automatic traffic signal, ticket vending machine and fully automated train station system, and automatic cancer cell diagnostic equipment. Omron makes significant contributions in a wide variety of fields such as industrial automation, home appliances & office equipment, automobiles, social & financial systems, and healthcare.
