Horizon Corporation (https://www.horizon.co.jp/), since its founding in 1946, has transformed numerous adversities into opportunities for advancement. In 2026, we view our 80th anniversary as a "milestone" and aim for further evolution. With refined technology and innovative ideas, we will continue to create a future that makes cultures worldwide a little richer.
## Background of the Dream: Continuously Turning Adversity into Opportunities for Advancement
Our origin dates back to 1946.
It began as a small repair business in Kyoto called "Taiyo Electric Laboratory."
Our passion for manufacturing, which started with "repairing" broken radios to bring sound back, was honed into reliable technical capabilities through the production of science experiment equipment and OEM manufacturing of precision machinery.
Signboard from the founding period
Tabletop binding machine BB-S developed as a world-first
However, our journey has not been smooth.
"Human fortunes are like a horse in the border fortress" — this proverb was cherished by our founder, who overcame numerous difficulties.
Facing various global crises such as the oil shock in the 1970s, the Lehman shock in the 2000s, and the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we have consistently transformed challenges into opportunities for our next evolution by changing our perspective. Just as we seized adversity as a chance to transform into an in-house brand manufacturer and developed the world's first tabletop binding machine, we have overcome all difficulties as a driving force for creating new value.
