The Power Is Within
Maxell Australia
Quality Since the Start

History

Maxell’s first production was in a small factory, almost like a stable, in Osaka, Japan in 1947 by Dr. Kamai and his co-founders.

Dr. Kamai’s story of the humble but determined founding of Maxell inspired the business relationship between Maxell and Omophonic, as Australian Agents, since late 1969.
In 1961, the dry battery and magnetic tape divisions of Nitto Electric lndustrial Co Ltd, were finally set up independently as Maxell Electric lndustrial Co., Ltd.

In 1964, Maxell was joined with Hitachi Ltd, Japan, to become Hitachi Maxell Ltd., with it’s headquarters in Osaka, Japan. The global sales headquarters are now located in Tokyo, Japan.

Maxell has, since its humble beginnings, placed the utmost importance on creating “world best” products, with research and development at the forefront of Maxell’s endeavours. Maxell has pioneered and developed many battery products, optical storage devices, consumer and professional broadcast tape and recordable media products. With this leading technological edge, Maxell has put itself ahead of the competition.

Maxell in Australia

Dr. Kamai’s story of the humble but determined founding of Maxell first factory inspired the starting of the business relationship between Maxell and Omophonic Imports. Since 1969, Omophonic Imports (then trading as Omonia Music House) has been Sole Australian Agents for Maxell batteries.

In 1971 Omophonic Imports was re-incorporated as Omophonic Imports P/L and has retained the longstanding Sole Australian Agency relationship with Maxell, Japan, ever since. Omophonic Imports P/L trades and is known as Maxell Batteries Australia and has been appointed recently, for Australia, also for Maxell consumer and professional (broadcast) recordable media, headphones, flash memory and all other types of accessories for audio and video.

Omophonic Imports P/L is an independent, Australian family owned and managed business. It is recognised globally as an integral part of the extended “ Maxell family” and is proud of its more than 55 year relationship with Maxell, Japan.
