Taichung, Nantun District, Taichung City, Taiwan · founded 1975

A 1975-founded, Taiwan-Stock-Exchange-listed electroacoustics ODM that is one of the industry's largest behind-the-scenes suppliers — reportedly in Apple's AirPods supply chain — and an early adopter of next-gen driver tech (xMEMS MEMS tweeters, Ora GrapheneQ graphene drivers). It now brands as "Merry Industrial" around its 2025 50th anniversary.

Merry Electronics (美律實業; now branding as Merry Industrial) is a Taiwanese electroacoustics ODM/OEM and acoustic-components maker headquartered in Taichung. Founded in 1975, it designs and manufactures earphones, headsets, headphones, TWS earbuds, microphones (including MEMS), speakers, receivers, batteries, and hearing/PSAP devices for global consumer-electronics and audio brands. It is publicly listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (ticker 2439) and is a component/finished-product supplier rather than a consumer brand, making it a behind-the-scenes player in the personal-audio supply chain.
