Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
President: Norio Nakajima
A new welfare building that Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. had been building on the Yokaichi plant premises since May 2022 is now complete, and a ceremony to celebrate its completion was held on June 21 (Wed.).
The concept for the new welfare building was to build an environmentally friendly building. A status of Nearly ZEB was achieved by using renewable energy from solar panels installed across the whole rooftop, and through energy saving gained from the installation of highly efficient equipment, such as solar chimneys that provide natural ventilation. On the disease prevention front, Murata has ensured a safe work environment for employees through the installation of devices to measure CO2 levels and elevators with contactless controls.
In addition, there is an exhibition gallery by the entrance called the “Wonder Stone Museum.” This space was created for visitors and employees to learn about the history and future of Murata and the Yokaichi plant through actual products, information panels, and video content.
