Sony is one of the leading multi-national corporations in Asia, with 38 companies spanning 15 countries and supported by a family of over 40,000 employees. Sony Corporation of Hong Kong Limited Sony’s presence in Hong Kong can be traced to 1959 when the company started a transistor radio assembly facility in Hong Kong through a local entity. This marked an important chapter in Sony history as this is Sony’s first production facility abroad. In November 1962, Sony opened Sony Corporation of Hong Kong Limited overseeing liaison activities in the Asia Pacific region; this is the third overseas company established by Sony Corporation. With the change in China’s open door policy in the early 1980’s, the role of Sony Hong Kong then began to change, from a liaison office to a sales and marketing operation responsible for regional business activities. To be closer to the customers in China and to strive for a high level of customer satisfaction there, Sony Hong Kong has set up representative offices in Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai; they were opened between 1994 and 1995. In March 1999, Sony Hong Kong completed its warehousing consolidation and opened the Logistics Center at Asia Terminal Limited in Kwai Chung, making it one of Sony’s largest warehousing and product fulfillment operations in the region.
