Four Advantages
（TDK’s core competencies）
TDK has been realizing its sustainable growth by refining four core competencies.
From its founding to the present day, the source of TDK’s growth has been “new designs from material science” and “manufacturing capabilities that will continue to evolve.” In addition, we can cite “sales and marketing to strike at the center of the world,” proposing original products derived from the fusion of the above two factors to the market. And then, supporting these activities from the roots, there is our “unique employee culture for value creation.” By continuing to polish these four core competencies, we will realize sustained growth going forward.

What is the Ferrite Tree ?
The Ferrite Tree is a concept that expresses the history and transitions that TDK’s business has continuously undergone since its establishment with ferrite as its founding business, in other words, the Ferrite Tree represents TDK’s growth trajectory.
