For nearly a century, the Matsushita name has been synonymous with superb manufacturing quality. Matsushita began its expansion into the field of avionics in 1979, quickly establishing itself as a market leader by being one of the first companies to market video equipment and offer passenger control units (PCUs) to the airline industry.
Matsushita Avionics Systems Corporation was established in 1979 as a wholly-owned subsidiary to the Panasonic Corporation, and in 2005 became Panasonic Avionics Corporation. Today, we are the world’s leading supplier of inflight entertainment and communications (IFEC) solutions.
The avionics technology that now distinguishes our IFEC solutions was inspired, in part, by the development of an ultra-thin radio that launched portable electronics. Matsushita’s interest in avionics was raised when the use of surface-mount technology made it possible to build an incredibly reliable, wafer-thin radio.
The idea was to develop it as a product for use in a market wher reliability, compactness, and light weight would be particularly valuable. This beginning was the impetus for Panasonic's vision of providing IFEC solutions.
