Panasonic

Panasonic, a multinational electronics giant headquartered in Osaka, Japan, was founded in 1918 by Konosuke Matsushita. Though globally recognized for its innovation in consumer electronics, Panasonic began developing massage chairs as early as the 1960s, becoming one of the first large technology brands to explore wellness automation. Its Real Pro series brought attention to proprietary massage mechanisms such as Junetsu (ultra-fine kneading) and heated 3D rollers. With products like the MAK1 and MAF1, Panasonic continues to serve users seeking refined motion control, clinical reliability, and a minimalist aesthetic. The brand’s massage chairs are often used in both residential and rehabilitation settings, combining its legacy of precision manufacturing with decades of ergonomic research.
