Continuing to contribute to society
The 130 year history of the 米兰ac体育 is a history of contributing to society. Furukawa Group founder Ichibei Furukawa promoted development in Japan based on a desire to "make Japan brighter", and with a broad perspective and high sense of ethics, he worked to achieve this great ideal. The 米兰ac体育 inherits this desire and has supported the growth of society mainly in areas concerning social infrastructure. Going forward, through endless technological innovation, we will aim to create solutions for the new generation of global infrastructure combing information, energy and mobility in order to build a sustainable world and make people's life safe, peaceful and rewarding.
