The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Panasonic was founded in Japan in 1918 by Konosuke Matsushita. They made radios first, then everything electrical. The company built transistor radios that worked everywhere, cheaply. They dominated consumer electronics for decades. Today Panasonic operates across six thousand six hundred forty-nine tracked brands globally. In Beauty and Personal Care, they rank third. They make shavers, hair dryers, grooming tools. Their Lumix cameras and batteries matter too. Japan built them. The world uses them still.
