I had no idea they were the same company. This is a good move for them, the Panasonic brand is strong wheras Matsu****a is less so ;)
I remember owning a Matsu****a portable tv which to be honest, lived up to its name.
Panasonic and Matsu****a have been one and the same for years.
All the plants around the world have Matsu****a in their name and have done for as long as i can remember.
In the 90's i was a sub contract electronics engineer in South Wales at Panasonic......the site was called Panasonic KME.
KME = Kyushu Matsu****a Electric Co
You don't pronounce it Matsu****a. It's Matsooshta... Too late to be correcting everyone though :D
I always thought it was Matsoosheeta, but there you go. Panasonic is easier for everyone :)
They make quite bad laptop optical drives. Are they likely to improve if they were called Panasonic ? Probably not - but they will have more to lose.
