Futaba

The FUTABA corporation was established in 1948, just after World War II, as a manufacturer and seller of receiver vacuum tubes. Utilizing vacuum tube technology, Futaba began manufacturing vacuum fluorescent displays. In 1962, Futaba began producing radio control equipment as well as press die set components, establishing what still remains as two of the company’s primary divisions. This was followed by the development of mold base components and the more recent addition of VFD modules to complete the lineup of Futaba's major products.

Firmly embracing the principle of manufacturing each component in-house, Futaba creates everything from its own tools to its own manufacturing facilities. Since their founding, we have supplied basic components that underpin a variety of fields with trustworthy technology and quality. This is in line with their corporate philosophy of "Honshitsu-no-Chokushi” (to look deeply into the nature of things and investigate it thoroughly). Thus, through their business, they have contributed to the expansion of the many industries they contribute too.

As technology has evolved, they have expanded their product lineup to meet the advanced requirements of a wide range of fields. It now includes: Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) Displays, touch sensors, radio control equipment for industrial and hobby use applying wireless technology, components for dies and molds such as mold bases, plate products and equipment for streamlining molding and manufacturing work.
