Company history

The history of Fujitsu Components goes back to 1877 when Ichibei Furukawa purchased the Ashio copper mine and started an industrial copper business. In 1905 the business was named Furukawa Mine Corporation. Ichibei Furukawa was convinced that modernisation and innovations would contribute to it becoming the largest mining corporation in Japan. Ichibei Furukawa’s aspirations for modernisation led to the setup of Fuji Electric by Ichibei Furukawa and Siemens in 1923.

The communication department of Fuji Electric spun off and formed Fuji Tsushinki. The name Fujitsu was established in the nineteen thirties when Fuji Tsushinki Manufacturing Corporation became the household name that it is today, Fujitsu.

In 1995 a joint venture between Fujitsu Limited and Takamisawa Electric Company Ltd. led to the establishment of Fujitsu Takamisawa Component Ltd.

On 1st of October 2001, Fujitsu Takamisawa Component Ltd and Takamisawa Electric Co. Ltd. merged their businesses and formed Fujitsu Component Limited, renaming the European subsidiary Fujitsu Components Europe B.V.
