Manufacturing Advanced Media (MAM) See --> Mitsui

Marantz
Japanese manufacturer of consumer and semi-pro audio & video products and is unusual in that it occupies a fairly broad range of the spectrum from both fairly inexpensive music systems up to expensive specialised hi-fi equipment but is also a provider some interesting semi-pro lines that are difficult to get elsewhere. The company is currently a part of the D&M Holdings group but was originally founded in 1953 as Standard Radio in the Setagaya district in Tokyo, changed it's name to Nihon Marantz Kabushiki Kaisha in 1975 although it trades as just plain Marantz in the hi-fi world and continued for quite a while to trade in communications equipment as SR Standard but the company got out of the radio business when the D&M group was formed and the SR trademark and product lines are now handled by Yaesu. During the 60's the company also held out a small collection of brandnames that it no longer uses, including Unicorder, also although most of their 1970's and early 1980's products are clearly marked "Designed in the USA", in particular the lines sold in the US, they were in fact all designed in Japan, this was a misguided marketing effort by the then brand owners Superscope Technologies but this practice was discontinued when Nihon Marantz gained control of the brandname via Philips, the company also used the brand Esotec in and around 1980 for their high end products. -- Official homepage.

Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.

Gigantic Japanese consumer products conglomerate that has been operating since 1877, manufactures audio and video products under the names RAMSA, Panasonic, National, Quasar (North America only), NAiS and Technics. Traditionally the top audio products from the company have been called Technics while the household and consumer audio products have been branded as National, the Panasonic name that is used more and more by the company for all of their consumer products came to since there were a couple of USA based audio companies named National and even more with National as a part of their name so when Marsushita started marketing in North America it needed a new name. Also has owned the JVC company all the way since 1954 but that company is operated completely independently. Matsushita has factories on every continent bar Antartica!. -- Official homepage.
