Fujikura Group's Brand Logo
The history of the Fujikura Group's brand logo dates back more than 100 years ago to 1910, when Fujikura was reorganized from a partnership corporation to a joint-stock corporation. Subsequently in 1985, the Company established a new corporate mark in celebration of the 100th anniversary of its founding. Twenty-five years later in 2009, the present brand logo (registered trademark) was established and began to be used by Fujikura Ltd. first followed by its domestic consolidated subsidiaries in March 2011. Presently, the logo is also used outside Japan by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Fujikura Group's brand logo (registered trademark) is the most basic and essential tool used to communicate our brand image and is composed of the following three elements: the corporate symbol, the alphabetical letters "Fujikura" and the corporate color. The brand logo plays an important role as a symbol of the Fujikura Group and is designed to be regarded as proof of our reliability for customers and society at large and to attract more people to the Group.
The Fujikura Group is fostering its business in a number of countries around the world. In order to expand our business strategically in the global market, we are making a better use of our brand logo. At present, we have registered or are applying for registration of the logo in more than 150 countries.

The Sweet Viburnum
|
In 1881, Zenpachi Fujikura moved to Kanda Awaji-cho as he looked for a way to recover from a series of business failures. The new residence was located adjacent to Kaku Shrine, which has a distinguished history. Zenpachi took care of the shrine's sacred tree (a sweet viburnum) every day, and perhaps due to this deed, he began to succeed in business. He started the electric wire business in 1885, and this became more prosperous by the day. After the death of Zenpachi, employees bought the tree from the shrine as a "living monument to the foundation of the company" and the tree has been taken care of by employees from then to the present. While the tree suffered in two fires, one caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake (1923) and the other by the air raid on Tokyo in 1945, new buds continued to sprout from the burned stump and each time the tree sprang back to life. This miraculous tree provided great motivation to employees who were devoted to the recovery of the manufacturing facilities in the wake of the disasters. |
