Masaya Kida on OPTEX’s 45th anniversary

Masaya Kida, Managing Director of OPTEX Security, reflects on the 45th anniversary of OPTEX and what it means, discusses the driving factors behind the business’ success and looks ahead at what’s next for OPTEX and the wider security industry.

When OPTEX was founded in Japan in 1979 by electronics engineer Toru Kobayashi and three colleagues, their vision was to build a global sensing technology business with precision and intelligence at its heart.

Today OPTEX has achieved just that, with a business that now employs more than 2,000 people across 42 companies and which still has an unwavering commitment to innovating new solutions and ideas that solve the everyday problems of its customers.
