Sony

Sony Group Corporation is a leading Japanese multinational conglomerate with diversified businesses across electronics, entertainment, gaming, and financial services. Founded in 1946 by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita, Sony began as an electronics firm and quickly gained global recognition for pioneering products such as the transistor radio, Trinitron color televisions, Walkman portable music players, and the compact disc.
