1. Founding of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.

In 1918, Konosuke Matsushita invented the improved attachment plug (twin socket) and founded the company. Based on his “Tap Water Philosophy,” he provided high-quality home appliances to the masses at low prices, reigning as the “King of Home Appliances.”

2. The Wave of Digitalization and the Setback of Plasma TVs

In the 2000s, the company invested heavily in plasma displays during the flat-screen TV competition, but lost to liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and was forced to make a major transition.
