About Onkyo
Onkyo is a Japanese audio name that Gentex controls rather than owns outright. It sits in Onkyo Technology KK, a joint venture in which Gentex's Premium Audio Company subsidiary holds 77.2 per cent of the shares and 85.1 per cent of the votes while Sharp Corporation holds the remaining 22.8 per cent, with a put and call option between them over that stake. The brand covers home cinema receivers, amplifiers and loudspeakers, and it arrived with the VOXX acquisition of April 2025.
