Co., Ltd., (Headquarters: Amagasaki-shi, Hyogo, Representative Director: Hiroshi Sugawara, “KEI”,)

Established in 2009, TSS develops and manufactures print circuit boards, power electronics, in-vehicle lights, and specialty circuit boards using LED, such as large current boards and metal boards.

By joining KDI group, TSS will benefit from synergies between the two companies in specialty circuit boards technologies that KDI has as well as in human resources, facilities, and markets.
