Rion
RION, is a coined word combining the initials of Japanese words “rigaku (science)” and “onkyogaku (acoustics),” the subjects of our research.
The company inherently has a strong commitment to advancing science and technology and contributing to society. This is attributable to Uneo Kobayashi, founder of Kobayasi Institute of Physical Research and the first president of RION. We have valued this tradition in our business for many years. We have commercialized and offered to society the outcomes of our tireless efforts in technological development. Many of these outcomes are the first of their kind domestically or internationally. Today, our operations focus on four product groups that span the healthcare, environment and industry sectors. They include hearing instruments, medical equipment, sound and vibration measuring instruments and particle counters.
