Home appliances manufacturing started in response to requests from home centers

―― Speaking of Iris Ohyama, it was a plastic household goods manufacturer such as storage furniture and pet supplies.When did you enter the home appliance field?

　Iris Ohyama has the image of "newcomers as a home appliance manufacturer", but since early 2000, electric commercial equipment such as shredders has been developed in -house.After that, we started selling home appliances in 2005.

　At that time, we provided products that had been requested by home improvement stores that had sold our plastic products, and manufactured and sold small toasters, rice cookers, and hybrid humidifiers.It was the launch of LED bulbs in 2009 that we started to focus on developing home appliances.For that reason, it is often said that we entered the home appliance genre in 2009.From the time of the development and manufacturing of this LED, we began to develop and develop our unique ideas, and the sales of home appliances grew at a stretch.
