Yamaha's piano coating and woodworking technologies, the original source of the company's expertise with wood, have long been reflected in quality products such as doors for system kitchens. Yamaha has also vigorously pursued advanced R&D for living environments over the years, as in 1964 when the company began applying fiber-reinforced-plastic (FRP) technologies, developed through the manufacture of archery equipment, to products such as bathtubs. In 1976, the company also became the first domestic manufacturer to launch sales of system kitchens featuring artificial marble counters. Yamaha has continued to develop this distinctive artificial marble for 30 years, and making use of its unique value, the company strives to provide comfortable, affluent lifestyles for its customers. We believe our involvement and continued efforts in every aspect of the manufacture and sale of residential equipment and furnishings, will play an important role in improving the quality of living environments. |
