Business Overview

2Production capacity and supply system that win
the trust of customers
State-of-the-art plant in Vietnam that started
operation in 2011
Specializing in substrates, Hoya has acquired a
dominant market share
Glass Memory
Disks for
Hard Disk Drives
Among recording media for mobile
devices such as laptop computers,
car navigation systems and external
hard disk drives (HDDs), glass memory disks are
used to prevent data loss caused by vibration and shock. Glass memory disks have
superior shock-resistance characteristics in comparison to the aluminum disks that
are used in non-portable equipment, and have greatly contributed to the evolution and
diffusion of mobile devices.
Information Technology
Among disks that are recording media for HDDs as well, Hoya
specializes in glass disks, which have superior shock-
resistance characteristics, and handles processes ranging from
development to manufacturing. In 2010, we decided to transfer
operations for applying magnetic coatings to glass disk
substrates to another company and concentrate management
resources on fabricating and polishing glass substrates. As a
result, our business competitiveness increased further, and we
now hold a dominant position in this market.
The source of Hoya's competitiveness is the ability to
supply high-quality products in large volume rapidly
and steadily. This may appear to be a matter of
course, but it is not simple to quickly develop
leading-edge products that customers require and
continue to supply them steadily in a large quantity.
Quality, quantity and delivery all lead to customer
trust.
