Stanley Electric

Stanley Electric Co., Ltd. is an electrical manufacturer with a large share in the automotive lighting and electronic equipment fields that celebrated its 100th anniversary in December 2020. We offer a wide range of products related to optoelectronics, including automotive headlamps, LEDs for automotive and consumer use, LED lighting, displays, optical sensors, etc.

Technology, information, flexibility, and speed and increasingly more complex challenges are imposed on the manufacturing process. At Stanley, the Research and Development, Design, Manufacturing Sales, and Administration divisions share their accumulated technologies and expertise. Through that sense of solidarity, Stanley is able to develop products that meet the demands of a rapidly changing market. As a pioneer in--as well as an explorer for--light, Stanley gives each of its products the added value and higher quality needed to ensure its success in the marketplace.

With automated driving progressing significantly, Stanley's automotive lamps have evolved into lamp systems that are easier to recognize, contributing to safety and security. Light sources have evolved from light bulbs to LEDs, and then to lasers, realizing new designs and power savings.

Automotive lamps such as LED headlamps and rear combination lamps, as well as car electronics products such as audio/air-conditioner panels, are packed with Stanley's advanced technologies.

Headlamps, which brightly illuminate forward providing the driver with a sense of security while informing oncoming vehicles of their presence, are indispensable for night driving and, at the same time, play a key role in car design as part of the car's front face. Aiming for further brightness, beauty and safety, Stanley's headlamps not only illuminate but also work with sensors and systems to accelerate the realization of a comfortable car society.

Tail lamps inform the presence of the car to other cars behind it, stop lamps indicate braking, turn signal lamps give signals on turn direction, and backup lamps assure the safety of the rear side and indicate when the vehicle is moving backward. Rear combination lamps functionally integrate these communication signals to the rear. They offer safety, high functionality, and an excellent design. Stanley seeks to realize ideal lamps driven by leading-edge technology. With the multi-axis fine processing technology, a surface emission with no visible cut has been realized. The break line between the lamps is illuminated by optical technology to achieve continuous light, thereby improving safety and design.

A high mount stop lamp warns two vehicles behind of braking. Installed at a high position at the center of the rear of the car, it plays an important role in preventing rear-end collisions. Stanley brought forth the world's first LED high-mount stop by proposing its proprietary high-brightness LED as the light source. This spirit is still handed down and we are constantly striving to develop new technologies.

One of our strength is the end to end manufacturing process, we produce everything from light sources to lamps and control systems offering an optimal lineup for each product and application.

As professionals who specialize in handling light, we are thoroughly dedicated to “manufacturing” and create products by maximizing the synergistic effects of our expertise in both automotive equipment and electronic device businesses.

In terms of business scale, Stanley Electric generated sales of 382.5 billion yen in 2021. We have more than 30 group companies with over 17,000 employees worldwide.

In recent years, we have focused on the UV business, launching a deep UV germicidal lamp in 2010, and continuing to evolve in the deep UV field with both lamps and LED devices and units.

We believe that the Stanley Group’s social significance lies in boundless pursuit of the value of light and in discovering the infinite possibilities of light with contributions to society by way of creating and providing value through our technologies and products.
