SONY and MURATA

Where did the Sony button cells go? 

In 2017, Murata acquired Sony's battery and accumulator division and took over manufacturing of the Sony brand.
Since then, the Murata brand has replaced the Sony brand, but the quality and performance of the batteries remain unchanged .

Quality: no changes

The batteries now carry the Murata brand but continue to be manufactured in the same factories, by the same production teams who still follow the same strict quality procedures.

Performance: no changes

Murata 's mercury-free high-performance button cell batteries are globally recognized by leading watch movement manufacturers, covering approximately 45% of global demand.
