Futaba Corporation (双葉電子工業株式会社 Futaba Denshi Kōgyō Kabushiki-gaisha?) is a Japanese company founded in 1948, originally to produce vacuum tubes.[3] As time passed, production and elemental techniques of the vacuum tube transformed into the manufacturing of vacuum fluorescent displays (VFDs), tool and die set components, radio control equipment and OLED displays.[4]
Company profile
Futaba became one of the first companies of its type to provide comprehensive radio control products, selection and service to hobbyists. Futaba systems and products were quickly accepted and used by serious competitors and casual enthusiasts alike. Futaba products are used in the air, on the water, underwater and on the ground for all types of RC models. Futaba manufactures all components in-house, including tools and manufacturing facilities.[5]
The brand is distributed in North America by Hobbico of Champaign, Illinois, by Ripmax in the UK, by Robbe in Germany along with other distributors around the world.[6]
Bribery in China
Senior manager Takehisa Terada, 68, was convicted in 2013 of bribing government officials in China in 2007[7] to ignore an irregularity at a subsidiary’s factory in Guangdong Province.[8]
