Founded with the aim of manufacturing and selling electronics-related equipment. Founder Masami Maeda foresaw the changing landscape of electronics and established Sun Electronics. Initially, the company manufactured automatic ticket vending machines for Ichinomiya Tatsukichi Electric (now Omron). Leveraging the experience and technology accumulated through contract production, it began developing its own products. From the outset, a culture of challenge was encouraged, leading to the development of unique original products. The company successfully developed an automated management system for pachinko halls, incorporating LED lamps and other advanced initiatives, giving birth to the SUNTAC brand. Following the development of commercial coffee machines and fully automatic mahjong ball systems, the company ventured into the then-emerging business of commercial video games. This laid the foundation for future gaming and hall system businesses.
