FANUC purchases raw materials, electric and electronic parts and mechanical parts used in its products, and the equipment, tools and fixtures used in our factories and other facilities, as well as outsourcing their machining and assembly, from approximately 1,000 suppliers. These suppliers are all important partners who are indispensable for the production of FANUC products, and we are working to establish a collaborative system with these suppliers that allows us to grow together. To this end, we strive to develop mutual trust, with a view toward fulfilling the social and environmental responsibilities required of supply chains by domestic and overseas communities.
