Message From President
I’ve assumed the position of President & Representative Director as of December 22, 2023. Though it may take some time to settle into the role, I am wholly dedicated to exerting even greater efforts for the advancement of our company. I sincerely request your continued guidance and support, as was generously provided to my predecessor.
Our company was established in 1988, specializing in handling electronic devices and other products manufactured by Hitachi, and delivering them to GoldStar.
Over the years, we have grown as a strategic partner of GoldStar (now LG Group and LX Group), and have also expanded our global network and now serve as a bridge between domestic and overseas manufacturers, while maintaining a focus on Japan and South Korea.
Without complacency in our history, we will further hone our management capabilities in our core electronic device business while engaging in investments and other activities in related businesses, as well as strengthen our collaborative framework with key strategic partners.
As a company with longstanding and deep ties to South Korean companies, we will continue to take on challenges as a solution provider in the electronic device industry by leveraging this unique characteristic of our company, and work as one team to become a one-and-only type presence in the industry. We sincerely ask for your continued support in the future as we work towards this goal.
Message from Chairperson
The supply chain for electronic components experienced severe disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, spanning from 2020 to the spring of 2023.
Inventories of electronic devices suddenly came under close scrutiny as automobile production lines came to a halt one after another, and even products related to people's daily lives became scarce.
In technological domains driving the forefront of innovation such as IT and bionanotechnology, the market is undergoing rapid and dynamic changes. Companies are increasingly challenged to respond swiftly to diverse business needs in this evolving landscape.
In order to respond to such requests, our role as an electronic device trading company is to provide speedy assistance by leveraging the technical and supply capabilities of manufacturers, in other words, to provide high value-added services in order to realize customers' product production plans in the electronics sector.
Achieving total supply chain management that optimizes everything from material procurement to production and logistics has become a major challenge.
Fuhrmeister Electronics will continue to innovate to meet the demands of the times and strive to earn the trust of our customers as a trading company that contributes to technological development through global sales of electronic devices.
By doing so, we aim to establish ourselves as a "Meister" in the electronics field.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support and patronage.
