Rohm

LITCHI stocks and sells a wide variety of product from Rohm. ROHM Semiconductor is a Japanese electronic parts manufacturer based in Kyoto, Japan. ROHM was incorporated as Toyo Electronics Industry Corporation by Kenichiro Sato on September 17, 1958.

The name was officially changed to Rohm in 1981 and then changed again to "ROHM Semiconductor" in January 2009.

When ROHM was established, resistors were its main product. Later, the company began manufacturing semiconductors. ICs and discrete semiconductors now account for about 80% of ROHMs revenue.

The name Rohm (which was originally written R.ohm) was derived from R, for resistors, the original product, plus ohm, the unit of measure for resistance.
