Management System
The dire wartime situation at the time of the founding of the company in 1945 led the engineers of the day to make the most of their molding and joining technologies, and they started by making products such as fishing net knitting machines and pipe furniture.
Those technologies were later applied to producing automotive parts, and we have since continued to offer products primarily made of iron or stainless steel.
As the outside world becomes more complex and changes drastically, offering continued value in the areas of clean & green, peace of mind, and quality of life means that the Futaba Group must successfully implement its "every employee plays an active role" initiative, which involves every single employee making full use of his or her capabilities and coming together as one. In 2024, the Futaba Group has redefined its existing Corporate Motto and Management Principle as Purpose, Mission, and Values to foster a shared identity with the partners who work with us and instill a shared awareness of tackling the challenge of creating new value.
Futaba's purpose
Producing environmentally-friendly products, we will help create a comfortable society for all people
(The Spirit of Purpose)
Futaba has historically delivered products utilizing our unique technologies such as steel and stainless steel forming and welding.
They will remain our base technologies 50, and even 100 years from now.
At the same time, the worldwide demand to preserve the environment has led to deploying various new information and manufacturing technologies. These technologies are poised to pave the way for the future society.
As citizens of the Earth, we have a duty to help realize that future society.
Therefore, we will delve further into our unique technologies while also actively incorporating technologies from fields that are new to us.
We will then make full use of the resulting technological advancements to practice more environmentally friendly manufacturing.
