Shimadzu presently offers a multitude of products, encompassing analytical and measuring instruments, medical systems and equipment, aircraft equipment, and industrial equipment, across a wide range of fields, as well as meticulous, responsive service. In addition to these core businesses, Shimadzu continue to explore new ventures that will positively impact society in the future. Acknowledging the realities of an aging society and heightened interest in the well-being of individuals, and in response to the goals of ultra-early diagnosis and treatment in the field of next-generation medicine, they are focusing on the development of “molecular imaging technology” to enable detection of subtle symptoms before the onset of full-blown diseases. For example, in the environmental field, the company is developing cleanup technologies which will not require the removal of existing buildings to rehabilitate polluted underground soil. In the field of industrial measurements, they are developing combustion measurement technology for automobile engines, an innovation that will further reduce fuel consumption. Looking forward, the company will continue to cultivate new business opportunities in such fields as the global environment, energy, automotives, and IT, by promoting leading-edge seed technology development.In addition to R&D objectives, Shimadzu is keenly aware that the 21st century is an age of explosive globalization in which barriers are tumbling, and the world is steadily becoming a single vast marketplace. Therefore, in addition to networks in the United States, Europe, Asia, and China, Shimadzu is now expanding into Brazil, India, Russia, and other regions. Shimadzu are setting up production, sales, and service bases throughout the world, striving to become a truly global business by perfecting an organizational structure which ensures that the various needs of customers in all regions are swiftly addressed.
