Modernizing the Art of Electronics
and Miniaturization
Seiko Instruments, one of three principle
companies that comprise the Seiko Group, was founded
in 1937 to manufacture watches, an extension of a family
watch assembly and repair operation started in 1881.
During the past half century the company has evolved
into an engineering and manufacturing giant that has
brought precision time-keeping into the electronic age.
Today, watch making continues to be
an important part of the company's culture. But it represents
only about 50 percent of the business.
The majority of the company's business
comes from the commercialization of proprietary technologies
the company originally pioneered for watch manufacturing.
The diversification plan began in the late 1960's. Core
competency in electronics was quickly added to those
of miniaturization and precision engineering and manufacturing.
And the company began to apply its expertise to the
development of products in four core areas: Electronic
components, consumer/business products, color graphic
computer peripherals and factory automation systems.
Seiko Instruments USA is the Western
Hemisphere affiliate of Seiko Instruments Inc. As such,
it combines the size, strength and sophistication of
a global company with North and South American product
development, marketing and customer support and service
skills.
Since 1981, our success in applying
our proprietary technologies to the needs of both end
users and OEM customers is demonstrated by our impressive
growth. But many companies and individuals are just
now discovering how they can solve problems, enhance
productivity and improve quality by utilizing the products
and services we offer. These products represent a melding
of superior global research, development and multinational
sourcing capabilities, combined with an in-depth understanding
of the needs of our customers--and their customers.
