Shimadzu Corporation was founded in Kyoto in 1875, during Japan's period of modernization.
It began with Genzo Shimadzu Sr., the second son of a Buddhist altar craftsman, manufacturing physics and chemistry instruments.
Later, Shimadzu Corporation grew significantly under the leadership of Genzo's eldest son, Genzo Jr., who showed a rare talent as a remarkable inventor.
In this way, Shimadzu progressed hand-in-hand with science, building itself into a leader in technology.
This culture of "Contributing to Society through Science and Technology" has been inherited by each new generation of employees at Shimadzu Corporation and now is being expanded globally through the growth of the Shimadzu Group, which continues to be rooted in science and committed to Shimadzu's management principle "Realizing Our Wishes for the Well-being of both Mankind and the Earth."
