The primary focus of the company is on discharge and halogen lamp technology.

Their goal is to meet the comprehensive needs of customers through market-directed product engineering, manufacturing process control and breadth of product offering.

Company size and philosophy. The company is small enough to react to specific Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) requests while large enough to have the design and production system expertise essential to making sophisticated light sources, coupled with a high degree of repeatability over large volumes.

As the company has grown, the OEM have started asking them to provide distribution for the specialty lamps that are used for the replacement in their equipment. To do that they have established aftermarket programs geared to the specialty niches and designed to fully support those organizations that distribute Ushio lamps. Besides that, distributors have asked the company to broaden the product line so that Ushio could be their one stop shopping source for all their specialty lamps, which the company has succeded.
