The Communication Equipment Division of Murata Machinery
introduced a facsimile machine that can transmit and
receive information through ordinary telephone lines in
1973 for the first time in Japan. Thirty years later, we are
now researching and developing IT devices with a focus on
MFPs (Multi Functional Peripherals) having the functions of
a fax, a digital copier, a printer, and a scanner.
In recent years, we saw an opportunity for MFPs to be "enhanced use of networking" in an office environment and
have turned the MFP into an office "network hub" by adding
comprehensive features to manage and share documents.
These include those printed on paper in addition to digital
files. In essence we have designed the Satellite Navigation
System for the office. The division is determined to continue its
R&D activities to accommodate new trends in the IT industry
and create value.

From the perspectives of our customers, we strive to become one of the major players
in the world by pursuing four core values to fill the niches in the markets of:
Image, Information, and Communication.
