Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. (富士電機株式会社,Fuji Denki Kabushiki-gaisha), operating under the brand nameFE, is a Japanese electrical equipment company, manufacturing pressure transmitters, flowmeters, gas analyzers, controllers, inverters, pumps, generators, ICs, motors, and power equipment.[3]
Fuji Electric was established in 1923 as a capital and technology tie-up betweenFurukawa Electric, a spinoff from Furukawazaibatsu company, andSiemens AG.[4][5] The name "Fuji" is derived from Furukawa's "Fu" and Siemens' "Ji", since German pronunciation of Siemens is writtenjiimensu inJapanese romanization. The characters used to writeMount Fuji were used asateji.
In 1935, Fuji Electric spun off the telephone department asFuji Tsushinki (lit. Fuji Communications Equipment, nowFujitsu).[4]
