KEL Co., Ltd. is a Japanese manufacturer founded in 1962 specializing in industrial connectors. Primarily, KEL’s connectors are used as key parts of electronic devices in a wide range of markets, from industrial equipment to automotive, imaging, medical, and gaming equipment. These connectors are being applied in a growing number of fields.

Since its founding, KEL has been aiming to develop products full of originality. Further, it continues to provide attractive products to its customers with a high level of reliability, high quality and a flexible response.

Production and Sales Network

With more than 60 years of experience, the company has established seven bases in Japan and five overseas subsidiaries in Taiwan, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Germany, and the United States. Further, to accelerate its global expansion, the company has resolved to establish a new production base. Its sixth overseas subsidiary was established in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, China.

The new company will become a specified subsidiary of the Group because the capital amount is equivalent to 10/100 or more of the Group’s capital.

In recent years, the Group has been expanding its business with customers who operate business overseas.

“To respond to overseas customers, we will establish a new company in China for a production system. Also, we will expand the connector business in the country,” according to the company.

In April 2024, the Group established KEL USA, Inc. aiming to strengthen the sales of its products.

Today, with the establishment of this new company, the company will strengthen not only sales but also overseas manufacturing. Moreover, it will continue to work to further expand its overseas business.

The Group’s Japan and overseas subsidiaries will work together to realize its management vision of “becoming a company that can contribute to the world as a connector manufacturer”, and further enrich everyone’s lives.
