PKC Group Oyj has developed into its present shape following a rather winding path. The company itself lists the most important events as follows: founded in 1969, as the wiring harness unit of Pohjolan Kaapeli Oy owned by Nokia. Management-buy-out deal in 1994, which resulted in the foundation of PK Cables Oy. After this deal the company concentrated on wiring harnesses for the heavy vehicle industry. It expanded to the telecommunications industry in 1996 and was listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchanges in 1997. The company opened a factory in Brazil in 1998. In the same year it bought Oy Raahen TH Elektroniikka Ab. And finally, the company changed its name to PKC Group in 2000.
