130th anniversary of the foundation


Founder Zenpachi Fujikura

The history of Fujikura Ltd. dates back to February 1885, when its founder, Zenpachi Fujikura, began manufacturing silk and cotton insulated winding wires for machine use in Awaji-cho, Kanda. Since its founding, Fujikura has been providing highly reliable products in the fields of power and telecommunications, electronics, and automotive components around the globe by using its advanced electric wire and cable technologies. The company has thereby made great contributions to the development of society and the improvement of living standards and culture, while meeting the specific needs of customers. This year we mark the milestone of the 130th anniversary of the founding. Since that time, the number of members increased from only 10 at the beginning to more than 50,000 currently. All members, who are engaged in business in 24 countries and regions around the world, are working to meet the expectations of customers through the use of high-quality manufacturing technologies.

The company was switched from a personal business to an unlimited partnership company named "Fujikura Electric & Wire Rubber Co., Ltd." in 1901, and was reorganized to the present structure and renamed Fujikura Electric Wire Corporation in 1910. The company celebrated the centenary of its founding in 1985 and its 120th anniversary in 2005. We declared that the year 2005 would mark the start of our third 60 years of leadership (third foundation), with an aim to achieve even more growth in the four core business fields.
