TDK

Japanese electronics company

TDK is a Japanese electronics company best known for manufacturing audio and video cassette tapes, which dominated the market from the 1970s through the 1990s.

The brand became so ubiquitous that TDK was nearly synonymous with blank recording media: I need to pick up some TDK tapes.

The company also produces electronic components and data storage devices.
