Sony is one of the leading manufacturers of electronics, video, communications, video game consoles, and information technology products for the consumer and professional markets.

Founded in 1946, the company’s founders, Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita, were responsible for the first commercially successful transistor radios. The name Sony is derived from sonus, the Latin word for sound. Originally named Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K., the name Sony was adopted in 1958 for worldwide marketing.

With such successful product ranges (Walkman, Discman and Playstation for example), it is no wonder Sony has gained a solid reputation worldwide for innovative, quality products, and has thus become one of the world’s largest media conglomerates.

Sony has a top-tier sponsorship contract for the FIFA World Cup until 2014.
