Background and Purpose of the Change

Since our founding in 1976, we have provided products and services to many customers under the name 'I-O DATA DEVICE', focusing primarily on PC peripherals.

In recent years, we have been strengthening our efforts in the medical field and aim to provide value that goes beyond that of a mere 'hardware manufacturer' in various sectors.

Additionally, for many years, our customers and business partners have affectionately called us 'I-O DATA', and the name holds high recognition as our brand name.

This corporate name change is intended to unify our corporate name with our brand name in light of these business expansions and brand awareness, and to evolve into a simpler and more accessible corporate brand as we look toward further business area expansion in the future.

We remain committed to contributing to a comfortable digital environment for our customers.
