Blog #5: Electric Competence

 Hi, guys!! I'm Takuya! I'm gonna write about 鴻海精密(Hong-Hai), a Taiwanese company.

 Have you heard this company's name? It ranks third in electric world and increases its share of the market. No1 and 2 in this world are SAMSUNG and LG which are Korean companies. A lot of Japanese know these two companies' name, however, Hong-Hai is not so famous in Japan compared to them. I think the reason is that it does not have own brands. For example, SAMSUNG has Galaxy, a smart phone, and it is very popular in Japan. But Hong-Hai does not have. 

 Then, why it can increases its share and grows recently? The reason is many companies orders to manufacture their products to Hong-Hai so its profit is increasing. Very famous companies such as SONY, Panasonic, and Apple also do that and this is the reason why I am interested in this company. 

 Why they do that? Why don't they manufacture their products by themselves? Because Hong-Hai has very skillful technique and ordering to it is cheaper than manufacturing by themselves. Thus, a lot of famous and popular products, for example, liquid crystal TV, PS3, and iphone are produced by Hong-Hai!! Doesn't it sound interesting? They are made in Taiwan! Do you have an iphone? Probably, it is also made in Taiwan, not in U.S.! 

 Hong-Hai will be continuing to grow so you should remember it because it is more famous than Japanese electric companies. In the past their products had good quality so they became popular in the world but their shares are decreasing recently. One day, I think Hong-Hai would have No1 share in electric world.

 Here is the rink. Please check it out if you are interested in it.

  2. Haha, that’s true, Sayuri. I didn’t know this company, either. I have to get more information of those things.
    The era of made-in-Japan electric goods has been finished, recently…? I don’t want to believe that! I want to keep proud of the skill of our high-tech country, Japan! Japanese people in electric field, please, do something cool, please!
