History
The company was established in 1959 as Nojima Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (野島電気工業社) in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, as a company selling electrical products.[1] Nojima Electric was set up in 1962 and the company was reorganized in 1982, changing its name to Nojima Corporation in 1991.[2]
In 2007, Nojima and Shinden merged; Laox, which up until then was Shinden's largest shareholder, continued to hold shares for Nojima. In 2009, 200 Laox employees were hired by Nojima after an acquisition failed.[3] In 2013, the company set up a subsidiary in Phnom Penh, Nojima (Cambodia) Co. Ltd., with capital of 250 million yen.[2]
