Panasonic Cold Chain Business Zooms into the Future
2020-09-24
In April 2019, Panasonic established two in-house companies, the US Company that controls North America and the China and Northeast Asia Company that controls China, to create an organizational structure that further promotes business focusing on regional strategies. As a result, U.S. display case manufacturer Hussmann became a part of the US Company, while Panasonic Appliances Cold Chain (Dalian) (PAPCCDL) and Panasonic Appliances Refrigeration System (Dalian) (PAPRSDL) in Dalian of China became parts of China and Northeast Asia Company. After about a year and half from the change, JARN interviewed Hiroyuki Tominaga, director, Cold Chain Business Division, Appliances Company, Panasonic, and asked about the development status of Panasonic’s cold chain business and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
