 PROFILE
You might think of TDK only while loading one of its blank tapes into your VCR or stereo, but the company actually generates most of its sales from its broad array of electronic materials and components. TDK is a major manufacturer of magnetic tapes, magnetic heads (used in hard disk drives and CD and DVD players), and components containing ferrite, the ceramic material that was the original core of TDK's business in the 1930s. The company has beefed up its research arm and is focusing its growth efforts on new products -- especially those containing integrated circuits -- for the recording and communications markets. Japanese consumer electronics conglomerate Matsushita owns a small stake in TDK.
