FANUC is one of the world’s largest industrial robot manufacturers, yet its true character is far more multifaceted than its public image suggests.

While the company upholds the management philosophy of “Rigorousness and Transparency,” an internal audit revealed long-standing regulatory noncompliance, exposing a gap between corporate ideals and organizational culture.

At the same time, FANUC’s average annual salary of around ¥12.5 million is exceptional for the manufacturing sector, highlighting its strategic investment in top-tier talent to sustain cutting-edge technology.

The company has also strengthened employee-centric policies, including generous benefits, health management, and diversity initiatives.

The coexistence of its traditional “narrow path” philosophy and bold innovations such as digital twins encapsulates both the company’s strengths and its challenges.
