How Panasonic Gobel Indonesia came to be

The Panasonic-Gobel cooperation began in 1960, at which time a technical cooperation agreement between PT Transistor Radio Thayeb Manufacturing and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (Japan) was signed. Two years later, the first black and white televisions were produced in Indonesia with technical support from Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., and through this cooperation and synergy sharing, both companies grew positively together. On July 27, 1970, a joint venture between PT Transistor Radio Manufacturing and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd was formed under the PT National Gobel. In 2004, the National brand was changed to Panasonic, and since then the company has become known as Panasonic Gobel.
