PROFILE |
 |
Between a rock and a hard place is a good fit for Furukawa. The company -- founded in 1875 to mine and smelt copper -- is a major manufacturer of construction and industrial machinery (cranes, drills, rock crushers; half of sales) and a leading miner and smelter (copper, gold, silver). Furukawa also makes electronic materials, including high-purity metallic arsenic used in cell phones and industrial chemicals such as titanium dioxide. It retails petrochemicals, coal, coke, and aggregates. Competition and Japan's sluggish economy (over 90% of its sales are in Japan) have forced Furukawa to streamline operations and cut its workforce. The company's spinoffs have included Fuji Electric Co. and Furukawa Electric Co.
