Sakae was inaugurated in 1946 and founded as a limited liability company in 1950.  Initially we were successful in developing and manufacturing Precision Potentiometers from our base in Japan, and we have subsequently consistently devoted ourselves to the development, manufacture and sale of Joystick Controllers, Foot Controllers and Servo Components in addition to Precision Potentiometers and Turns-Counting Dials, always having regard for the high demands of the industry and the current era.

We are always mindful of industry trends in electronic components as being "small in size, light in weight, high performance and high reliability", and our products embody many original devices and designs, protected by over 210 domestic and international patents.

In August of 1994 we were certified and approved to ISO 9001 standard by the Reliability Center for Electronic Components of Japan under their registration number RCJ-94M-28 for Precision Potentiometers. We were the first company in Japan to be certified in this field, and we maintain our compliance with an annual certification approval.
