Our History

1922: The Foundation of Innovation

Imagine a journey that begins with a simple stainless steel pipe, evolving into a legacy of cutting-edge technology. Established in 1922, Yokowo’s story began with the fusion of stainless steel tubes and springs to create spring bars for watchbands. This humble start sparked a relentless pursuit of innovation, leading to the creation of telescoping radio antennas and, eventually, motorized automotive antennas.

The Evolution of Antenna Technology

As technology advanced, Yokowo’s automotive antennas grew to include micro and sharkfin antennas, capable of handling higher and broader frequencies, AM/FM, satellite radio, telematics, and GPS applications. This evolution didn't stop there; it paved the way for groundbreaking advancements in microwave components and ceramics.

Precision Engineering and New Ventures

Simultaneously, Yokowo ventured into the realm of Precision Engineering, developing spring contact probes for circuit testing, micro connectors, and components. Our expertise even extended to the medical field, creating minimally invasive surgical devices. Building on our antenna design expertise, our newest focus is on Precision antennas for IoT applications.

Pioneering Smart Applications

With a rich history of synergy and innovation, Yokowo is now leveraging a century of experience to pioneer smart applications and connectivity solutions. The journey from a stainless steel pipe to a leader in advanced technology is a testament to Yokowo's unwavering commitment to progress, quality, and excellence.
