Corporate Information
Yamaha Corporation Group
Yamaha's history began when its founder, Torakusu Yamaha, completed a repair job on a reed organ at a Japanese primary school. Perhaps no one thought at the time this event would mark the beginning of a 130-plus-year history during which Yamaha would become a world-wide leading brand in musical instruments, audio equipment, and other products and services dear to the hearts of people everywhere.
With our unique expertise and sensibilities, gained from our devotion to sound and music, we are committed to creating excitement and cultural inspiration together with people around the world.
* In 1955, the Company split off its motorcycle manufacturing division into a separately managed company, Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., and both companies are now working to enhance the value of the Yamaha brand through their own businesses.
Our Businesses
Yamaha develops businesses on a global scale in the three domains of musical instruments, audio equipment, and others (industrial machinery and components, etc.), fusing our technical expertise and sensibilities that have been honed through businesses centered on sound and music.
