Our digital video and audio products include VIERA flat-panel Plasma TVs and LUMIX digital still cameras. In the home appliances market, our wide-ranging product line includes tilted-drum type washer/dryers and air conditioners featuring an advanced automatic filter cleaning system. We collaborate with Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd. to offer solutions for comfortable living. And we provide advanced electronic components and devices which underpin our increasingly digital, interconnected society.

Our unceasing efforts focus on realizing everyone’s wish to eliminate diverse obstacles in everyday life, to enable an enhanced lifestyle, by supplying high-performance digital products and minimizing impacts on the global environment, thus ultimately implementing our management philosophy.

All of these products and services demonstrate our core value: ideas for life. Our global brand statement, “Panasonic ideas for life,” is our pledge to our customers: it embodies our commitment to bring our customers products and services based on ideas that enrich all of our lives and advance our society.
