NEC
NEC Corporation, a prominent Japanese multinational, specializes in telecommunications equipment and related software and services, with its headquarters located in Tokyo.
Established in 1899, Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. (now officially NEC Corporation since 1983) was initially funded by Western Electric Company of the United States. The Japanese side of the venture was spearheaded by Iwadare Kunihiko, a telegraphic systems expert who had spent a decade in the U.S. working with inventor Thomas Edison. This partnership marked Japan's first joint venture with a foreign company, facilitating Western Electric's export of telephone equipment to the Japanese government. Over time, as Western Electric grew more confident in Japan's patent administration, it provided technical support that allowed NEC to progress from merely assembling to manufacturing telephone equipment.
