On September 1, 2020, Furukawa Battery celebrated its 70th anniversary.
It is our valued stakeholders who have made this possible through their continued support over the years,
and I would like to express my gratitude to all of you.
With this important milestone as our first step,
we will continue to take on new challenges and achieve continuous growth
so that we can become a company that must last 100 years.
The Furukawa Battery was established in 1950 independently of the battery plant of Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd.
Since our founding, we have contributed to the development of society by providing high-quality storage batteries, power supply systems and related services in a wide range of fields, from automobiles, buildings, public facilities, railways, aerospace, and so on. In recent years, we have been promoting businesses that contribute to resolving social and environmental issues, such as batteries for environmentally friendly vehicles and storage batteries for renewable energy applications. We are developing products and services tailored to the times and needs of the times.
Over the past 70 years, we have experienced many twists and turns, but thanks to the support of many people, including customers, business partners, employees, and local communities, we have continued to grow in line with our philosophy of "contributing to society through our businesses and technologies, and developing sustainably together with society."
The environment and society surrounding us have changed dramatically over the past decade or so. It is not an era in which we can survive simply by valuing tradition and history. With pleasure and appreciation that marks the 70th anniversary, I hope to respond flexibly to changes and continue to exist for the next 10 years and 100 years. To this end, we will maximize our technological, development and challenge capabilities, contribute to society through our businesses and technologies, and grow sustainably together with our stakeholders.
