At just 25, Sho Sato moved to the U.S. from Japan with big dreams, but only a few dollars to his name. In 1984, he founded Hosa with a borrowed desk and telephone, and turned it into one of the most recognizable companies in the music and professional audio industries. After three decades of hard work and dedication, Sato has passed the torch to his daughter, Mayumi Allison. Her main goal—and that of the entire Hosa team—is to continue to live up to the mission of the company: To create reliable connectivity solutions with unparalleled service, passion, and care. Founded in 1984 and currently celebrating its 40th anniversary, today Hosa Technology remains a family business dedicated to creating connectivity solutions.HOSA TECHNOLOGY, INC | 6650 Caballero Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620
