Funai is a Japanese air conditioner brand founded back in 1954. The original production was based in Osaka and was called "Funai Mishin Shokai". But already in 1961 this brand name was transformed into the usual for the buyer “Funai Electric Co.”. The first products produced under this brand were transistor radios. Such a policy of the company allowed it to quickly merge into the general industrial sphere of the state and gain a stable position both in the domestic and foreign markets.
The following products are produced under the famous brand all over the world:
- computer technology;
- terminal equipment for Internet access;
- television, video and audio equipment;
- other categories of household technical appliances.
In addition to the listed products, the company successfully manufactures climatic equipment. The production facilities allow using the company's potential to its full capacity, in particular due to the events of 2008. The fact is that during this period Philips transfers part of its consumer electronics business to Funai. This made it possible to strengthen the manufacturer's position in the international market, as well as significantly expand the range of products.
