Amateur Radio Products Donated to Support
Reconstruction Following the Haiti Earthquake
Kenwood donated Amateur Radio (Ham) products, which offer a
means of communication that requires no public infrastructure,
through the American Radio Relay League in the U.S. for use in relief
activities for victims and reconstruction of the stricken area in the
Republic of Haiti, which
was severely damaged
by a huge earthquake in
January 2010. We
sincerely hope the
devastated areas will be
restored as soon as
possible.
Youth Soccer Tournament Held
The Johor youth soccer tournament in Malaysia, held every year under
the auspices of Kenwood Group Union (KEGU) in hopes of fostering
the sound minds and bodies of children, was held in May, with the
support of employees of
Kenwoodʼs Malaysia Plant
and volunteer staff from
the labor union in Japan.
The tournament was a
great success, with 16
junior high school soccer
teams selected from the
province participating.
Relationships with Customers through
Showrooms
In an era in which people can view products on the Internet as if they
were looking through a catalogue, the roles of showrooms have
changed significantly with face-to-face relationships with customers
becoming increasingly important.
JVC KENWOODʼs Marunouchi Showroom not only provides a
venue for explaining products, but also serves as a place that enables
customers to have proper relations with products through daily
communication.
Views and requests concerning products, which are obtained from
customers who visit the
showroom, are quickly
conveyed to the relevant
development, production,
and sales divisions via the
CS division, and are used for
planning future products
and improving quality.
Cooperation in Opening “Saudi Electronics &
Home Appliances Institute”
To train engineers who repair home appliances in Saudi Arabia, the
Saudi Electronics & Home Appliances Institute was opened in Riyadh,
the capital of Saudi Arabia, in September 2009 through cooperation
among the Japanese and Saudi Arabian governments and private-
sector corporations
including JVC. JVC, which
exports large quantities of
home appliances to Saudi
Arabia, supported
preparation of teaching
materials and training
programs, including
guidance for instructors.
