Information

PKC’s story begins with Pohjolan Kaapeli Oy, a subsidiary of Nokia, establishing a wiring systems factory in 1969 in Kempele, Finland. The plant produced wiring systems for both passenger cars and commercial vehicles. During the early years, company gained two significant customers that paved the way for the growth and success of the company long into the future: Saab (Saab-Valmet and Saab Scania) and Volvo (Volvo-Auto Ab). A supplier agreement with the Saab Valmet car plant in Uusikaupunki created for PKC excellent conditions for it to develop its business. In terms of internationalisation, PKC was a pioneer of its day, as it actively sought customers from abroad, above all in Sweden. In 1981, Pohjolan Kaapeli Oy merged with Oy Nokia Ab. The company invested strongly in the quality of production and customer service, and PKC’s competitive advantages, unique expertise and mass-tailoring, were key success factors even back then. Our expertise and professionalism were valued by customers and company won many quality awards.
