Murata’s philosophy was created by the founder Akira Murata in 1954. Since that time the world around us has dramatically changed and continues to evolve, but our fundamental mission and values will always remain the same. From single-function components to modules and on to total solution proposals, the value that Murata has provided over the years continues to evolve. We are involved in development of the technologies and products that can promptly respond to customer needs with an eye on the future. At Murata, in addition to component products, sales of the multilayer ceramic capacitors and piezoelectric components that are our core products, as well as of communication modules in which numerous parts are embedded using multi-component, multi-layer technology are growing more and more.
