Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. (古河電気工業株式会社, Furukawa Denkikōgyō Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese electric and electronics equipment company. The company traces its origins to Furukawa Ichibei who founded Nikko Copper Works, a copper-smelting facility at Yokohama in 1884, which became part of Furukuwa Kogyo. A new company; Furukuwa Denki Kogyo, was formed in 1920, when it merged its copper business with its own Yokohoma Wire Manufacturing Company, which it had acquired in 1908. So, the new company was able to combine its businesses of mining, refining, and making copper products, like wire and cable. More information...
