Founded in 1923 as a raw silk factory, SHIROSHITA originated in the Ueda region of Nagano Prefecture, which once thrived on the production of silkworm eggs and silk thread. These products were primarily exported to Europe and the USA.
As times changed, so did our business. We began supplying electrical wire to an American manufacturer of educational audio equipment. Based on their requests, we expanded into manufacturing headphones, record players, and other audio products.
Our first OEM product was an educational audio playback device in 1966. This device allowed six headphones to be connected to an audio distributor, enabling six individuals to listen to the audio simultaneously.
