Matsushita Electric Corporation of America On January 1st 2005, Japan-based Matsushita decided to adopt its most popular brand name as its new corporate name.
"Panasonic" is to be gradually adopted globally, with the exclusion of the Japanese market where Matsushita is the stronger brand due to its links to the name of the founder: Konosuke Matsushita.
