The 2025 vision FURUKAWA Power & Passion 150 describes how we would like the Group to be in 10 years’ time. It aims to become a corporate group that leverages its reputation for category leadership and uniqueness to deliver growth. We will work to achieve continuous growth by placing more emphasis on our specialist niche products that have high market share, rising to the challenge with our own peerless technology and always responding to customer needs with mar- keting-based management*. In order to aim for an even higher level in the future, the Group believes that it should carefully maintain the positives that it has cultivated so far while being required to break through traditional corporate culture and moulds. With Power and Passion, we will push towards achieving this vision and continue to meet the expectations of all our stakeholders with the intention of working towards even better corporate value. * Marketing-based management means incorporating marketing into the core of management to provide products and services recognized as valuable in changing markets, with the aims of deepening ties with customers, achieving sustained growth, and increasing corporate value. * Furukawa Group The history of the Furukawa Group dates back to when the Japanese Mine King, Ichibei Furukawa, started the copper mine business. Since then, a number of Furukawa Group compa- nies have been established through the development and diversification of businesses and are now active in various industries in Japan as well as overseas. Currently, the Furukawa Group forms a voluntary organization called the Furukawa Group Executive Council consisting of 10 executive companies, namely Furukawa Co., Ltd., The Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd., ADEKA Corporation, The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., Fuji Electric Holdings Co., Ltd., Fujitsu Limited, Nippon Light Metal Holdings Company, Ltd., ZEON Corporation, Asahi Mutual Life Insurance Co, Mizuho Financial Group and member companies, for cooperation between Group companies and enhanced mutual collaboration.

    Thoughts on the New Year .....1 MMC Activities...................2 Study, Research and Dissemination Activities ..3 Project Update ...................4 Column............................5 Overseas Trends.................6 Member’s Profiles ..............8 Thoughts on the New Year As we greet the year 2009, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and to share some thoughts at the beginning of this new year. The past year was a turbulent one for the Japanese economy. Increases in the price of crude oil and rare materials, which had been a concern for the past few years, continued apace. This put pressure on company operations and people’s daily lives, and highlighted the all too well known fragility of the industrial infrastructure and lifeline of Japan, a country with a dearth of energy resources and raw materials. Then financial instability on a worldwide scale occurred, caused by the long-feared collapse of subprime loans in the United States. The resulting turbulence seems unlikely to be resolved easily. Viewing these trends, what I feel anew is the peril posed by an economy that is not tethered to reality. As an industry, Japan must have creative products with an appeal unrivaled by those of other countries, constituting an economic foundation that is based on actual circumstances. Tamotsu Nomakuchi The Micromachine Center (MMC) conducts a variety of activities aimed at establishing key Director, technologies relating to micromachines, MEMS and other micro/nano fields and providing support for Micromachine Center the continued growth of the MEMS industry, as well as strengthening the international competitiveness of Japan’s domestic industry and contributing to the creation of the abundant society of the future.

  • Corporate Profile (PDF 4.8MB)
    Corporate profile 1 Message from the President We will promote ESG management as a unified group and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society. “Drawing on more than a century of expertise in the development and fabrication of advanced materials, we will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through continuous technological innovation.” This is the Corporate Philosophy of the Furukawa Electric Group. From our founding in 1884 through to the present day, the conveying, connecting, and storage of energy, information, and heat have been the pillars of our business, and through the four core technologies of metals, polymers, photonics, and high- frequency, we are developing a wide range of products around the world in fields of infrastructure such as telecommunications and energy, as well as in the fields of automotive components and electronics. The DNA of the Furukawa Electric Group comes from the words of our founder, Ichibei Furukawa: “value employees, value customers, value new technology, and contribute to society”. These ideas are linked to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) adopted by the United Nations, and I believe that it is ESG management itself, which gives care and consideration for the environment, society, and governance. Our daily operations are guided by the “three valuables” spoken of by Ichibei Furukawa. Last year, we experienced a grave and unprecedented situation in which economic activity stagnated around the world due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic. For us, fiscal 2021 will be “the year of building a powerful company”, during which we will further enhance our ability to respond to changes and prepare to achieve the targets of the next medium-term management plan, which will start in fiscal 2022.
