ELECOM excels at developing products tailored to the times, has proprietary expertise in showfloor proposals and inventory control built up through our sales channels, and excels at expanding into new markets. We have succeeded in growing over the years by bringing products meeting demand and trends quickly to market. We carry approximately 17,000 items, and revamp or replace all of these on a 3-4 year cycle. In addition, we have the expertise to ensure that planning, development, procurement and sales of all these products moves forward smoothly.
The core concept behind ELECOM product development is creativity and speed. We identify product issues in the market and develop solutions and refinements, while also actively engaging in new product development. Another of our core missions is finding ways to keep product costs down while making procurement faster, and we have partnering vendors (product suppliers) throughout Japan, China, and the ASEAN region, who help us manufacture hit products that are beloved within and without Japan.
The ELECOM group sells a variety of high design products. Their excellent design has netted them a range of awards that include the Good Design Award, a reputation recognized by many of our users.
We focus on emerging trends and specifications in the industry, such as USB Type-C and Wi-Fi 6 technology, to revamp our lineup in a timely fashion. Above all, we emphasize alacrity in the product development process, with our sales and procurement divisions working closely together to bring products rapidly to market. The ELECOM group will continue developing new products that not only meet users’ needs, but forecast upcoming demand.
We are ramping up our overseas e-commerce business, such as through Amazon points of sale in Europe and the Americas. We are also promoting the development of products for e-commerce. Separately from our existing product line, which emphasized products for brick-and-mortar stores, we are developing new products that simplify packaging and reduce costs while placing an emphasis on product performance and design.
ELECOM is a fabless manufacturer with no in-house manufacturing facilities. We work with partner plants and vendors to comprehensively select the best products that take into account quality, cost, and supply. We also use a proprietary management system to aggregate order, inventory, and logistics data in one place and deliver in-demand products in a timely fashion.

The GIGA School concept is ushering in major changes in the post-2020 era. For children living in the age of Society 5.0, computers are a must-have item that hold their own alongside pencils and notebooks. This concept aims for each schoolchild to have access to a computer and a high-speed, high-capacity telecommunications network. To that end, ELECOM is offering a wide range of items that seek to solve issues associated with the implementation of that idea.
We have a network of installers nationwide, letting us respond to customers’ requests politely and with alacrity. After listening to the client’s request, we consider the optimal equipment configuration, and our dedicated staff consult with them regarding surveillance camera equipment and complex network setups to propose a total network architecture that incorporates proper security and network design.
As part of the recent work-style reforms and BCP measures, society is calling for ways of working that are not bound by time or place, such as through remote work, remote classes, and telemedicine. ELECOM proposes a variety of solutions, from reducing security risks associated with taking equipment off premises to the essential items needed for telecommuting.
There is growing focus on use of IT in factories, medicine, and societal infrastructure, and ELECOM leverages its advanced sensing and IoT technologies to offer packaged solutions for various contexts that are geared at pursuing work-style reforms, employee safety, and improved quality.
