But it all started with generator lamps for bicycles. In the beginning, the young company was constantly harassed by various minor and major troubles. But Toshio's perseverance and patience really knew no bounds. By 1949 these lamps were produced by thousands and began to be exported abroad.

In 1950, the company acquired the final name, used to this day - SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. Nowadays it is a parent company of a huge concern known as SANYO Electric Group.
