Our Manufacturing Philosophy An Advanced Global Approach to Battery Production
Panasonic’s approach covers four key areas: research and development, production, quality control, and environmental responsibility. The guiding principles of continual product improvement and the strictest quality control are governed by a desire to deliver premium-value products to customers with the least possible impact on the environment.
Research & Development
OTHER GREEN ACTIVITIES
In aiming for the factory to be more eco-conscious, PECBE is also promoting a variety of activities such as the use of LED lighting; the adoption of an electric car as our company vehicle; and the use of waste wood for the walls of the cafeteria space in the factory.
PRODUCING PRODUCTS
WITHOUT SPECIFIED HARMFUL SUBSTANCES
Panasonic Manganese batteries contain no added lead, mercury, or cadmium, while our coin batteries have no mercury added.
Manufacturing
INTEGRAL COMPUTER-CONTROLLED
PRODUCTION LINES
Almost all batteries are made on fully automated and computer-controlled production lines for superior consistency of quality and greater efficiency.
CONTAMINANT-FREE MANUFACTURING
FACILITIES
The vast majority of our products are made in contaminant-free clean rooms that exceed industry environmental standards. Advanced techniques ensure the same consistent quality no matter where our products are purchased.
Quality Control
BEST QUALITY CONTROL
We lead in quality with the industry’s largest testing facilities. All of the two million cells we make each year are subjected to severe five-category testing covering discharge performance, leak resistance, shelf life, performance in extreme environments, and product stability over time.
Environmental Efforts
