Profile
Since its foundation in 1912, Sharp has devised a string of
Japan-first and world-first products based on the spirit to
“make products that others want to imitate.” Over the
years, Sharp has fashioned a name as a global electronics
manufacturer with a focus on consumer and information
products such as LCD TVs and mobile phones and on
electronic components such as LCDs and solar cells.
A key competitive advantage held by Sharp is its “Spiral
Strategy” that involves maximizing synergies to propel the
development of distinctive products infused with unique
devices. Through further innovation of this integrated
business model, Sharp aims to be a “valued one-of-a-kind
company” that offers new lifestyles and brings new levels
of satisfaction to people everywhere.
