Furukawa Electricin Figures

In 1884, Furukawa Electric started smelting copper in Honjo, Tokyo and manufacturing electric cables in Takashima-cho, Yokohama.

The Furukawa Group’s founder, Ichibei Furukawa, is said to have worked to build a new Japan with the aim of “making Japan brighter.”

We have inherited this idea from him and will continue seeking to “make the world brighter” as a unique player with diverse material technologies in fields such as infrastructure and automobiles.

Based on the idea that “people are the foundation of our business,” Furukawa Electric aspires to corporate growth at the same time as the enrichment of the lives of its individual employees. To keep all employees working actively, we focus on developing their work environment from various angles, such as bringing in arrangements that facilitate a more flexible, efficient work style, upgrading systems that support them in continuing to work, and providing training that stimulates personal growth.

L-Mark accreditation

Furukawa Electric was the first companies in the non-ferrous industry to be given L-Mark accreditation, which is awarded by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare to companies with outstanding initiatives in the promotion of women’s careers.
