RIVER ELETEC CORPORATION is an electronic-parts manufacturer specializing in crystal devices. From development and production to sale, we supply the crystal devices that are indispensable for the operation of a wide array of electronic equipment. In line with our business creed, “High Quality, Low Price, and Quick Delivery,” we never stop creating value, piling innovation on innovation. Because we understand that the trust and satisfaction of our customers are the source from which our success flows.

Since its foundation in 1949 as a manufacturer and seller of resistors, RIVER ELETEC has continuously pursued the challenges of creative manufacturing. That unique approach is the DNA of RIVER ELETEC. In the late 1970s, the Company launched its crystal operations and began accumulating the exclusive expertise that makes RIVER ELETEC a leader in the miniaturization of crystal devices today. As a result of this journey, we have earned the trust of the market, so that many customers say, “If you need miniaturization, call RIVER ELETEC.” More recently, RIVER ELETEC has earned top-level share in the market for ultra-compact Tuning-Fork Crystal Unit. These components are mounted in electronic devices such as smartphones and IoT devices, helping to make them ever more compact, thin-profile and energy-efficient.

The wellspring of our strength is the way we develop our people by learning from each other. Maintaining just the right level of positive tension, we engage in frank and open discussion, across departments and disciplines and up and down the management hierarchy, cultivating a highly effective, can-do corporate culture. We also work constantly to improve organizational cohesion, uniting sales, development and manufacturing in a common purpose. This corporate culture is the source of our ability to generate products and technologies that other companies cannot, such as our crystal photolithographic processing technology, our unique sealing technology and our new KoT-cut OPAW crystal units and oscillators.
