Ferrotec transforms into a holding company that equips the world for the future

[Country Business Reports interviews and articles by Discovery Reports www.discoveryreports.com]

As a company that perennially finds itself on the cusp of technology within various industries, Ferrotec continues to hone the spirit of craftsmanship as it applies space technology concepts into innovative solutions that support the way people live and allow businesses to thrive.

Ferrotec’s products uphold business and infrastructure in ways people cannot see. Ferrotec solutions are used in advanced manufacturing processes for semiconductors, smartphones, light-emitting diode (LED) products, and solar panels. The company’s technologies extend into medical equipment, automotive parts, consumer electronics, laundry equipment and much more. The diversified technology company provides customers with advanced material, component and precision system solutions that make products work better, more precisely, and more reliably.

This year, Ferrotec transformed into a holding company as it becomes increasingly diversified, but since 1987, much of the company’s growth has come through ferrofluid and thermoelectric module technologies. Ferrofluid, born from the Apollo Space programme, and thermoelectric modules are at the core of many of Ferrotec’s solutions.

“I encountered ferrofluid and thermoelectric modules 50 years ago, and at that time, the world market applying these technologies was less than US$1 million,” says Akira Yamamura, founder and CEO of Ferrotec. “Today, our company alone handles a thermoelectric business worth around US$120 million.”

Committed to discovering and bringing more customer solutions to the market – from cutting-edge precision manufacturing equipment to the latest advances in vacuum seals – Ferrotec connects the world and upholds the future through pioneering technologies.
