The Sony Ericsson story

Mobile in motion

A story of momentum

Why has Sony Ericsson become a leading global player in the telecoms industry in just five years since its inception? Because we are a company of people who love what we do.

Running start

In October 2001, consumer electronics giant Sony joined forces with Ericsson, market-leader in network infrastructure and telecoms, to form Sony Ericsson. It was to prove a powerful joint venture of people who make things happen.

Shared success

Now, over 9,000 employees contribute to the development, design, marketing, sales, distribution and servicing of a full portfolio of products, accessories and applications. Hailing from over 40 countries and employed across the map, our people are inspired by the cultures that surround them. From our R&D operations in Sweden, Japan, China, the US and the UK, to our global management in London to our regional centres around the world.

Over 9,000 entrepreneurs

From early hits such as the iconic T610 – which put Sony Ericsson on the global map for design and innovation – to title sponsorship of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour; from the celebrated Cyber-shot™ camera phones, to the groundbreaking Walkman® music phones, to partnerships that connect us to the biggest names in music and blockbuster films. Our success is the result of a workforce driven by their ideas.
