Murata Electronique SAS has gradually shifted its focus from the telecom to automobile-related business in recent years.

In response to the expected trend toward eco-friendly vehicles, we are working closely with automobile manufacturers to develop auto-emissions control technologies, including piezo stack injectors for diesel engines. We all intend to do our best to stay at the cutting-edge of technological development.

Recently, many customers have come to require suppliers not only to improve components, but also to provide engineering support. To offer services that exceed customer expectations, Murata Electronics North America has continuously reinforced local engineering support, with particular focus on total application solutions. Our company’s highly-skilled team has continued efforts to produce what is truly valuable for customers, so that we can clearly differentiate ourselves from our competitors.

Murata Electronics Singapore has provided sales support in ASEAN countries, as well as in India. We are committed to reforming our corporate culture, incorporating reform subjects in our management policy. I believe that, by working enthusiastically to reform and improve the corporate culture, we can enhance business performance and also grow ourselves in non-business terms.

With sales in greater China accounting for a considerable portion of Murata’s total sales, Murata (China) Investment serves as an engine of the Group-wide growth in business related to mobile devices and PCs. In 2006, we launched a field application engineering (FAE) team, which is working on technical support for equipment manufacturers, and promotional activities targeting IC manufacturers and design houses. I earnestly hope that our activities in China will open up a path to a new age of world business.

At the Head Office of Murata Manufacturing, we develop new products to always offer new value to our customers. The Head Office also serves as the base for development of new materials and processes as well as new production technologies, all of which are required for creating new products. In cooperation with sales offices around the world, we gather global market information, so as to produce useful products for our customers.
