Roland is on a roll with rhythm. The company makes musical products such as keyboards, synthesizers, amplifiers, and Digital Signal Processor (DSP) chips for digital instruments. Roland also owns Rodgers Instruments, a maker of electronic and pipe organs. Its products are used by professionals (for use in recording studios, theaters, and public facilities) and nonprofessionals worldwide. Roland serves its retail customers through about 20 sales companies in Australia, Europe, North and South America, and Taiwan. (Exports account for about 65% of sales.) The company was founded in 1972 by chairman and 12%-owner Ikutaro Kakehashi. Consumer electronics maker Pioneer owns 11% of Roland.
