The client uses this a lot when describing the company. I've already translated it one way but would like to see what others suggest, because "no me acaba de convencer del todo"...

looks to the future


Explanation:
It will probably be different in every context, but here you could make a contrast between the "1949" phrase and the future, something along the lines of "With roots that go back to 1949, the company has always looked to the future". This would mean chopping the original up into at least three sentences.
