Sanken Electric Co., Ltd. is a company which has strong competitiveness in the global market by providing energy savings and solutions, based on our cutting-edge power conversion and motion control technologies. In FY2021, we began a fresh start as a specialized semiconductor manufacturer for products such as power modules, power devices, and sensors.
Electricity and electronics are indispensable to modern life. Power semiconductors are devices needed every time electricity is used. Sanken products are used in familiar things like cars, air conditioners and televisions and also in places that aren’t as visible. For over 70 years, our products have supported people’s lives.
Addressing environmental problems and saving energy on a global scale have become urgent challenges. With a large number of products and technologies that lead to high efficiency and energy savings, Sanken makes a major contribution to global energy conservation through products for inverters used in air conditioners and for low fuel consumption and increased efficiency in automobiles. Additionally, we will promote activities such as carbon offsetting to reduce CO2 generated from business activities and aim to be a company that can achieve continual growth and social contributions.
While business opportunities will be successively generated by the new industrial revolution being driven by IoT, AI, big data, autonomous driving, and 5G, the sustainability of global society is at a major turning point, reflecting the impact of the pandemic on the economy, society and other developments. Since its establishment in 1946, Sanken has been constantly involved in research and development. We will continue to work on perpetually innovating technological capabilities and providing products of assured quality to help solve global environmental and social issues and further develop industries, the economy and culture.
