KyoceraKyocera Corporation or Kyōsera Kabushiki-gaisha is a Japanese company based in Kyoto, Japan. The company was founded as Kyoto Ceramic Co., Ltd. (Kyōto Seramikku Kabushiki-gaisha?) in 1959 by Kazuo Inamori. It manufactures ceramics and printing-related devices, as well as a comprehensive line of imaging products. Kyocera acquired the famous Yashica Camera Company Ltd. in 1983, along with Yashica's prior licensing agreement with Carl Zeiss, and manufactured a line of high-quality film and digital cameras under the Yashica and Contax trade names, until Kyocera abandoned all film and digital camera production in 2005. In January 2000 Kyocera acquired photocopier manufacturer Mita Industrial, and a month later they bought the mobile phone manufacturing operations of San Diego, California-based QUALCOMM to form Kyocera Wireless.

Solar cells
Kyocera Corporation has announced a plan to increase its solar cell production to 500 MW per year in 2010. 500 MW is about three times the 2007 output of 180 MW, and the company will reinforce production bases in Japan, the US, Europe and China, investing a total of about ¥30 billion through FY2010. Through this production enhancement, Kyocera looks to meet increasing demand across the world for solar cells.

ECOSYS (Economy, Ecology and Systems) Technology
Kyocera pioneered cartridge free printing that reduces both the cost of consumables and waste. Industry and product surveys consistently show that Kyocera printers are up to 70% cheaper to operate than comparative models. The company's award-winning ECOSYS laser printers have the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and cost per page available on the market. Through savings on consumables alone, most consumers can recover the original capital cost of the printer in the first year of printing.
Commitment to the Environment
Our Corporate worldwide green policies encourage conservation and recycling, along with the development of products and technologies that can actually minimise the impact on the environment. The Kyocera Eco-Product label is carried on these products. In 1991 Kyocera implemented its Environmental Charter worldwide. The company has received accreditation from numerous conservation organisations including: Green Seal (USA), Blue Angel (Europe), Ecomark (Japan), Qualidate Ambiental (South America). Our products are all Energy Star compliant.
