History
Since our company was started in 1923 as “Shiroshita Silk-Reeling Factory”, we have been a Japanese “Mono-dukuri”(the traditional Japanese concept of craftsmanship) company for more than 90 years. We shifted our business from silk reeling to production of electronics and electric wire in 1960s, and to audiovisual teaching equipment and professional audio equipment in 1980s.
The Research and Development team at SHIROSHITA work extremely hard to continually update and add value to the range of existing products. Our focus is on durable, innovative and high quality products. You can feel the quality of our craftsmanship in the subtle details of our products.
