TOKYO – Some 90 years after its founding, Matsushita
Electric Industrial Co. is shedding its eponymous name.
As of Oct. 1, Japan’s second-largest technology company will officially assume the name Panasonic Corp., a nod to its global brand. President Fumio Ohtsubo said the decision was difficult, but that the brand will benefit from shedding the original name for the better-known moniker. The name change will become effective Oct. 1, pending shareholder approval. Matsushita was founded in 1918 by then 23-year-old Konosuke Matsushita.
