Akiyama today is a dynamic company with a young staff, all closely connected with the DJ world and all highly committed to issues such as product development and manufacturing technology. Here at Akiyama, we appreciate that only by playing a very direct part in all these areas can we be competitive and offer high quality and highly functional products, products enabling us to become a global brand and to export our products for DJs and audio professionals all over the world.
The quest for innovation underpins Akiyama’s view on the new technologies and processes: “rather unconventional ideas enabling DJs to boost their creativity”. We combine this obsession with another premise when it comes to innovating for our products: “Doing it right from the time the idea is first conceived”. That is the bedrock on which the quality process rests throughout the company, and that is one of the reasons why so many professionals have turned to our products.
