Fuji Electric Parts & Automation Components

Fuji Electric was founded on August 29, 1923, in Kawasaki, Japan, as a capital and technology partnership between Furukawa Electric of Japan and Siemens AG of Germany — the name "Fuji" itself is drawn from Furukawa's "Fu" and the Japanese pronunciation of Siemens' "Ji," with the Mount Fuji characters used as a fitting emblem. In 1935, the company spun off its telephone equipment division as a separate company — which went on to become Fujitsu. Fuji Electric itself continued building its core electrical and industrial equipment business, and today manufactures variable frequency drives, PLCs, servo systems, temperature controllers, HMIs and power semiconductors used across manufacturing and process industries worldwide.
