history
The company was founded in December 1915 as the silent company Nihon Musen Denshinki Seizōsho ( 日本 無線 電信 機 製造 所 , German "Factory for Japanese wireless telegraph equipment ") for the production of spark telegraphs . In February 1920, the reorganization took place as a stock company Nihon Musen Denshin Denwa ( 日本 無線 電信 電話 , "Japanese, wireless telegraphy and telephony"). In January 1930 the plant moved to Ōsaki (today part of Shinagawa , Tokyo ) and in July 1938 to Mitaka , where the main plant is still located today. In December 1942, the company took on its current name.
In 1939 the company developed the world's first cavity magnetron , Japan's first weather radar in 1954 , the first transistor- based LORAN receiver in 1960 , and the world's first GPS receiver for cars in 1990 .
In August 2009 the seat was moved to Suginami .
In December 2013, the Dutch company Alphatron Marine BV became a subsidiary of JRC. Since then the headquarters of JRC Marine Europe has been in Rotterdam. In December 2016, the takeover was 100% completed.
In Germany, JRC Marine is represented by Alphatron Marine Deutschland GmbH.
