The Furuno Electric Company, originally founded in Japan in 1938, is an innovative industry leader in the development, manufacture and supply of marine electronics to the international maritime community. Furuno products are recognised as top-tier marine equipment both within the Light Marine and the Deep-Sea markets and can be found in most private, commercial and government vessels worldwide. This has been made possible through the intensive efforts of a worldwide network of Furuno Subsidiaries and National Distributors which are able to cater for the needs of the international maritime market. With Cyprus being home to some of the world leading names in the shipping industry, Furuno quickly realised the importance of the Cypriot maritime community which led to the opening of Furuno Cyprus Ltd in Limassol at the end of 2012.
