[edit] Furukawa Group

What is the Furukawa Group and what is FANUC LTD's relationship to it.

"Furukawa Group currently has sixty-three member corporations that constitute Furukawa Sansuikai, a voluntary organization. Led by ten executive companies, Furukawa Sansuikai promotes close cooperation within the Group and encourages continued improvement in the performance of corporate activities." --http://www.furukawa.co.jp/english/kaisya/pdf/e014.pdf

Another document http://furukawa.co.jp/zaimu/financial/annual/2006ar_1.pdf seems to indicate these companies were spun off of Furukawa company:

  • 1921 Jointly established Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. with Siemens AG
  • 1935 Fuji Electric spun off into Fujitsu Ltd.
  • 1972 Fujitsu spun off into Fujitsu FANUC Ltd.

If someone can explain the "It is part of the Furukawa Group" line, that would be helpful. --Ishi Gustaedr (talk) 04:43, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
