PANASONIC CAMERA

Panasonic started with desire to create things of value. As hard work and dedication result in one innovation product after another, the fledgling company takes its first step towards becoming the electronics giant of today.

Panasonic was started on March 7, 1918, when Konosuke Matsushita founded Matsushita Electric Housewares Manufacturing Works.

Production started with a staff of three members. In 1922, the company’s 1^st head office & factory with 50 employees was established. In 1961, the company organized with Konosuke Matsushita as chairman & Masaharu Matsushita as president. In 1977, the company builds a new management team with Toshihiko Yamashita as president & Masaharu Matsushita as chairman. Akio Tanii becomes president in 1986. In 1989, the founder of the company died.

Panasonic released Digital Television sets in U.S.A. on 1998. In 2008, the company name changed from Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. to ‘Panasonic Corporation’. In 2009, the company made Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of Panasonic Corporation. In 2011, the company made Panasonic Electrics Works Co. Ltd. & Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd. wholly-owned subsidiaries. Kazuhiro Tsuga becomes the president of Panasonic Corporation in 2012.
