Kyocera Industrial Ceramics Corp. has launched a new consumer products division that combines the strengths of its advanced ceramic cutlery and kitchenware product line units.
The integration of the Application Products Division of Kyocera Tycom Corp. into Kyocera Industrial Ceramics Corp. will optimize the strengths of both organizations and facilitate the expansion of Kyocera’s North American Advanced Ceramic cutlery and kitchenware business. The combined enterprise will streamline the operations for greater efficiencies while positioning the new Consumer Products Division for continued growth and success.
Kyocera customers and business partners can expect even higher levels of service with no changes in daily operations. Sales, marketing and re-sharp services will continue to operate from Kyocera’s Costa Mesa, Calif., facility, while order fulfillment and inventory have been relocated to Kyocera’s distribution center in Fremont, Calif.
Kyocera recently announced a major milestone – more than 10 million advanced ceramic knives shipped globally. Kyocera offers a collection of more than 80 high-performance ceramic knives and kitchen tools.
The new consumer products division will expand its product portfolio with multiple introductions in time for the upcoming holiday season, the company said.
