Hanx Corporation is a fabless home appliance venture company headquartered in Minato Mirai, Yokohama. Founded on September 16, 2020, by President and CEO Yoshiaki Mori, the firm was established by a team of experts with over 20 years of experience in product manufacturing at major home appliance makers. The company operates on a fabless model, focusing on the planning, development, and sales of a wide range of electronics without owning manufacturing facilities.
The company's business is divided into two main areas: home appliances and SaaS-type information systems. In the appliance sector, Hanx offers a diverse portfolio including household appliances, IoT devices, and PC peripherals. They engage in OEM/ODM sales, private brand sales, direct-to-consumer e-commerce, and wholesale. Products are often launched via crowdfunding platforms like CAMPFIRE and GREENFUNDING and include items such as portable dual monitors, AI-powered smart cat toilets, and compact automatic clothes dryers. One of its clothes dryers was named a "BEST BUY" by the Japanese electronics magazine "Kaden Hihyo".
The second business pillar is a SaaS-based information system called "Hopi Channel," designed for the hospitality industry. This cloud-based service uses data broadcasting to deliver information to in-room televisions at hotels and inns, eliminating the need for an internet connection and allowing for the use of existing TV sets. The system allows hotel staff to remotely update content, such as facility guides and local information, via a PC or smartphone. It is offered on a flat-rate subscription basis, providing a cost-effective solution for improving guest services and operational efficiency.
