Vestax
Overview
Vestax Corporation was incorporated with the intention to satisfy three core values. Values which, at the time of incorporation, the founders thought were not being satisfied by other manufacturers, design teams or creators within the music industry.
These founders sought to create a company that would light the way for progress, quality and innovation. A company that would satisfy the needs and expectations of consumers. Those three values then, still govern business activity at Vestax today and they remain as strongly entrenched as ever.
Quality
From the design and research level to the manufacture of each instrument and its many parts, the quality of all inputs should never be compromised.
Innovation / Creativity
Again from the commencement of design through to completion, each program, department, view, idea or concept is fully explored with an emphasis on innovation and creativity. This is further reinforced by a strong ongoing program of education and training for the entire Vestax team.
Culture
A total dedication to helping facilitate the growth of music culture is reflected in all areas of business at Vestax. This might be demonstrated by providing instruments that are highly innovative, or by expanding the features of a product to allow new and creative styles to develop. The end result however, is that music culture benefits in a positive way, always.
