Hamamatsu Corporation

At Hamamatsu Photonics, we illuminate the future by harnessing the power of light. Established in 1953, our journey began with the spirit of Kenjiro Takayanagi, the "Father of Japanese Television." Over the past 65 years, we've evolved into a global leader in photoelectric devices, contributing to advancements in diverse fields.

Our commitment to pursuing the unknown led to the birth of the optical industry. Founder Heihachiro Horiuchi, inspired by Takayanagi's philosophy, embarked on a path to convert light into electrical signals. Today, as the age of photons unfolds, Hamamatsu Photonics is at the forefront of photonics technology, applying it across industries.

Teruo Hiruma, our second president, continued the legacy of exploration. Photonics is not just our business; it's an idea, a goal, and a way to shape the future. With a focus on revealing the untapped potential of light, we strive to create new industries and push the boundaries of what's possible in this century.
