Funai is a Japanese brand of air conditioners, founded back in 1954. Initially, the production was based in Osaka and was called Funai Mishin Shokai. But already in 1961, this brand name was transformed into “Funai Electric Co.” customary for the buyer. The first goods manufactured under this brand were transistor radios. Such a policy of the company allowed it to quickly join the general industrial sphere of the state and gain a stable position in both the domestic and foreign markets.
Under the world famous brand, the following products are produced:
- computer technology;
- terminal equipment for Internet access;
- TV, video and audio equipment;
- other categories of household technical appliances.
In addition to the listed products, the company also successfully produces climate equipment. Production capacities make it possible to use the company's potential at full capacity, in particular thanks to the events of 2008. The fact is that during this period Philips transfers part of its Funai consumer electronics business. This allowed us to strengthen the position of the manufacturer in the international market, as well as significantly expand the range of products.
