Oki Electric Cable Co.,Ltd.

Oki Electric Cable plays an essential part in the history of telecommunications in Japan. The Meikosha company was founded as the first telecommunications instrument manufacturer in Japan in 1881. The founder’s invention of lacquercoated wires was followed by enamel wires, which were mass produced by Meikosha’s electric wire and cable division. Meikosha later changed its name Oki Company, and then Oki Electric Co., Ltd. In 1936, the electric wire and cable manufacturing department was spun off, and Oki Electric Cable Co., Ltd. was born.
