​1885
Founded

It is said that he was filled with an "enterprising spirit"
Zenpachi Fujikura, Founder

The history of Fujikura began in 1885 when Zenpachi Fujikura started manufacturing copper and silk wound wire.
It begins.
Zenpachi became interested in electricity after seeing an arc lamp being lit up on Nihonbashi Street in 1883.
He foresaw the coming of the electric age.
At that time, Zenpachi was running a braiding business in Kanda Awajicho, and the braiding technology he produced led to the development of braiding techniques for electric wire coating.
Because of the similarities, I started the electrical wire business.
Zenpachi also began researching rubber-coated wires, and in cooperation with Tomekichi Matsumoto and Harukichi Nakauchi, he expanded business.
We have brought highly reliable products to the world using cutting-edge technology.

藤倉善八の末弟で、ゴム被覆線の研究をともにおこなっていた
松本留吉は、善八が死去すると、その後継者として善八の個人企業を
会社組織とし、1901年に藤倉電線護謨合名会社を設立しました。
その後、精力的な努力もあり、電線事業はますます発展し、
現在に受け継がれる「技術のフジクラ」を確立させていきます。
1910年に、電線事業を拡大する必要から、電線事業を分離し、
藤倉電線株式会社（現在の株式会社フジクラ）が誕生しました。

Developing socially beneficial technology and contributing to business development

Harukichi Nakauchi, the younger brother of Zenpachi Fujikura, was adopted into the Nakauchi family.
He helped Zenpachi with his electric wire business, improving manufacturing techniques, etc.
This contributed to the development of manufacturing technology.
At the time, electrical insulating paper and telegraph punch paper were supplied exclusively from overseas.
He has been involved in research and the development of domestically produced insulating paper, and has supported the company's management since its founding.
In his later years, he worked on charitable business, and in 1919 he won the Fujikura Social Contribution Award.
Our origins lie in the establishment of Fujikura Gakuen, a facility handicapped person on the island of Izu Oshima.
