FDK America

Founded in 1950, FDK started from the manufacture and sales of manganese dry batteries. From that time, various experiments with battery materials were conducted, and from the expertise gained in the related materials, it was decided that FDK would entered the ferrite business. The company expanded from the development of ferrite materials to electronic devices such as power transformers. Now, our products are used by customers in various fields such as lighting equipment, computers, smart phones, communications equipment and automotive applications. With our battery business, FDK offers alkaline batteries, specialized lithium batteries used in fire alarms as well as high durability nickel-metal hydride batteries, which can be used repeatedly with rapid charging. FDK continues to invest in the research and development of battery materials. Our batteries are found in many life scenes, from industrial sites to household applications. FDK also engages in the areas of development and manufacturing of lithium ion capacitor as well as power storage systems which combine the battery and electronic circuitry know-how gained from our research.

As electricity is an essential energy in our lives, energy management, how to create it, store it and use it wisely, are on-going challenges in our society. FDK will continue to provide technologies and products in our quest to support the ultimate solutions to these challenges.

FDK will strive to pull the infinite potential power from materials while adapting to the ever-changing business environment.
