Business Domains
Leveraging the four core technologies of “Metals”, “Polymers”, “Photonics” and “High Frequency”, Furukawa Electric provides a wide range of products and contributes to solving social issues in the business fields of Optical Solutions, Digital Infrastructure Components, Energy Infrastructure, Automotive Systems and Metal Solutions. In addition, we continue the efforts to create new businesses combining our accumulated technology.
Optical Solutions
Optical communications technology that supports safe, secure next-generation infrastructure
This business domain includes optical fiber and cable products, fiber connection components and materials, and broadband system products, and the products and services we provide are essential for building telecommunications infrastructure. In addition, we offer solutions that support the entire lifecycle of telecommunications infrastructure, including network planning, installation and maintenance.
Following the growth of global data traffic, expansion of the data center market and further adoption of 5G and next-generation mobile systems, we will leverage our optical communications technology and global network capabilities accumulated over the years to contribute to the establishment of denser, higher performance telecommunications infrastructure.
Digital Infrastructure Components
Supporting the data center and AI markets through “high performance”, “well-differentiated” technology
This domain is made up of “optical devices and components”, “heat dissipation and cooling products”, “tape for semiconductor process” and “cable conduit, functional plastic products”, “aluminum blanks for HDD” and “copper foil” , and we provide products that are essential for data centers and ICT devices.
As generative AI become more widely used and data traffic continues its rapid growth, we will leverage our high performance, well-differentiated technology to quickly and flexibly respond to the changing needs and support the expanding telecommunications and social infrastructure.
Energy Infrastructure
Supporting social infrastructure through advanced technology development capabilities, installation capabilities and definite quality
This domain is made up of the power cable and industrial cable & power cable accessories businesses, and in addition to the manufacturing and sales of low, medium, high and ultra-high voltage power cable, related equipment and terminal products, we provide one-stop service covering everything from engineering to installation.
As renewable energy is increasingly being installed toward realizing a carbon-free society, we will leverage our technology development and advanced installation capabilities accumulated over the years, as well as our highly reliable quality, to contribute to solving a wide range of social issues such as reinforcing and upgrading the electric power grid and promoting energy saving and increased efficiency at construction sites.
Automotive Systems
Supporting safe, convenient mobility that links people, automobiles and the world
This domain is made up of electrical and electronic automotive components including wire harnesses, steering roll connectors, lead battery state sensors and peripheral monitoring radar, and we provide product lineups that contribute to increasing the safety, convenience and environmental performance of automobiles.
In the mobility domain, following the increasing needs for environmental consideration and advanced safety technology, we promote the development of high performance, high precision components and contribute to safe, secure and convenient movement.
Metal Solutions
Contributing to the evolution of electronics leveraging our high-performance material development capabilities
This domain is made up of electric conductor material (including magnet wire), copper & high-performance material and superconducting businesses, and we manufacture and sell metal materials used in a wide range of industries including power cable, automotive products and electronic device materials.
Following the trend toward vehicle electrification, autonomous driving and higher performance telecommunications devices, the required material characteristics are becoming increasingly advanced and diverse. We will leverage our strengths in material design and processing technology to propose value that matches our customers’ needs.
New businesses and products
Leveraging the accumulated technology and proposal capabilities to create businesses designed to solve social issues
Based on the core technologies of metals, polymers, photonics and high-frequency accumulated over the years, we are working to create businesses in new domains including life sciences, social infrastructure maintenance & management and aerospace.
Going forward, we will continue to propose new value that will lead to solving social issues through open innovation and co-creation with diverse stakeholders.
