    Sanyo's founder, Toshio lue, began his first production in an unused Matsushita plant in the late 1940's. Sanyo started by making bicycle electric generators.His ties to Matsushita included being brother-in-law to Konosuke Matsushita (creator of Panasonic) and former Matsushita employee. Later Sanyo incorporated in the 1950's and manufactured the first plastic radio produced in Japan in 1952 and in 1954 made Japan's first pulsator type washing machine.

    The name, Sanyo, means three oceans in Japanese and speaks to the founders desire to sell Sanyo products worldwide across the oceans. In 1954 Sanyo went public and started producing TVs the year after. It was just a few years later during the early 1960's Rex Service Company started doing Sanyo TV service. Throughout the 1960's Sanyo produced a wide range of audio and television devices and began to work with esteemed audio manufacture Fisher in the early seventies, taking control in the latter part of the 1970's and ultimately creating Sanyo Fisher in the United States in 1987.

    In 1984 Sanyo ventured into the personal computer market with the model MBC-550 PC to undercut the price of the recently released IBM PC. Although the MBC-550 used the same micro processor family as used in the IBM, boasted similar architecture to the IBM and ran Microsoft DOS and popular software, it wasn't 100% IBM compatible and was driven to obscurity along with dozens of additional 'almost compatible' computers. During this time Rex Service Company performed Sanyo Television repair and Sanyo Computer service for a separate Sanyo business units.

    Sanyo's various divisions have developed numerous types of devices including batteries of all sizes and types, residential appliances, air conditioners, semiconductors and cell phones to name a few. Some of these devices were available under the National brand and the author recalls seeing "National" branded products carried into his father's TV repair shop for service. Over the decades, Sanyo has had a technological innovations advantage with many of the devices it has produced due to their extensive research and development initiatives and capacity to swiftly move from prototype to manufacturing.

    During 1995 Sanyo brought out it's first digital camera and within a few years controlled 30% of the world market under the Sanyo brand and private branded for many others. Sanyo went on to produce component parts such as the LCD screen for many camera manufacturers including Kodak. Also during the 1990's Sanyo got into the LCD projector field and rose to # 2 in LCD projector sales, with 15% of the market segment.

    Over the years Sanyo has experienced it's obstacles from economic downturns, earthquakes destroying production facilities and the difficulty competing in the ultra-competitive markets of consumer electronics, semiconductor components, cell phones, and appliances. Recently Sanyo has arrived full circle, from it's humble origins in an abandoned Matsushita (Panasonic) manufacturing plant to a 50.2% control by Panasonic in 2009. The purchase by Panasonic has brought about the sale of some of Sanyo's overlapping subsidiaries, including white goods (appliances) however the consumer electronics that are branded Sanyo remains.
