 Aiwa Co., Ltd. -- Company History
For the year ending in November 1986, Aiwa was in the red for the first time in eight years, posting a pretax loss of ¥5.17 billion on sales of ¥57.4 billion, forcing it to forego its dividend for the first time in 14 years.
Aiwa returned to profitability and resumed payment of dividends in the early 1990s thanks largely to its shift to lower-cost, lower-wage overseas production--a shift that others in the industry soon imitated.
Aiwa was able to capture a large portion of this market by following with a full line of TV-VCR models, each of which included special features, such as a satellite tuner and a bilingual receiver.
