Focus On Server Manufacturer: NEC

Nippon Electric Company (NEC) was founded in Japan in 1899. W.T. Carlton, head of the Tokyo branch of Western Electric Company of Illinois, and Kunihiko Iwadare, the Japanese agent for products produced by WE, formed the company once Japan approved commercial enterprise for foreign companies. NEC was the first company to be affiliated with a foreign nation (the United States).

Today, NEC is a diverse company with many specialties, including face-recognition software, computers, laptops, and servers, and AI technology. NEC has 301 consolidated subsidiaries and 114,714 employees worldwide. Their revenue for 2021 is already almost $23 billion.
