Kyocera Establishes New Sales Company in India

Kyocera Corporation has announced the establishment of Kyocera Asia Pacific India Private Limited (KAPI) — a new Kyocera Group sales company that has been positioned to cohesively strengthen components sales in the continually expanding Indian market. KAPI, which is to start operations on August 1, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kyocera Asia Pacific Private Limited (KAP) — a Kyocera subsidiary dedicated to sales in the Asia Pacific region.

Up until now, Kyocera sales activities to India had mainly been conducted from the KAP headquarters in Singapore. In 2005, KAP set up a representative office in Bangalore, India to help support the cutting tool sales of local distributors, and since then has also started actively marketing Kyocera’s line of products including electronic, semiconductor, fine ceramic and thin film components as well as solar panels. Recognizing the importance of the rapidly growing Indian market, the establishment of KAPI will allow the Kyocera Group to better respond to customer needs and product demand, the company said.

As one of the markets in Asia on which Kyocera has placed strategic importance, KAPI will be able to aggressively develop its sales activities in India. The new company will begin with sales of cutting tools, and subsequently progress with further sales of other Kyocera components.
