About Jupiter Worldwide

The heritage of JUPITER began in 1930 when KHS International, its parent corporation, opened as an educational products company in Taipei, Taiwan. The letters KHS stand for "Kung Hsue She" meaning "a company helping schools and culture". This simple definition still represents the primary goal of the JUPITER brand.

By 1980, KHS had evolved into a full-scale musical instrument manufacturer and planning began for producing a complete line of wind instruments and percussion. Today as well as Jupiter, KHS is the parent company of Mapex drums, Hohner, Sonor drums, Altus Flutes and Ross mallet instruments.

With modern factories in four countries, JUPITER is one of only a few major full line brands being produced in their own factories. With over one million square feet of manufacturing facilities, and over 3,000 staff, Jupiter is part of one of the top ten musical instrument manufacturers in the world.

JUPITER maintains constant contact with performing artists, educators, repair technicians, instrument designers and our network of dealers to better respond to the requirements of music education and performance.

2010 see's the 30th Anniversary of Jupiter Brass and Woodwind production.
