Greetings


JECA (Japan Electrical Construction Association) was launched in 1948 with the name of Electrical Construction Society. Since then, we have endeavored to establish this industry’s identity and lift social status up, while enlarging the scale of the Association.

By the virtue of the cooperation of its all members, we carry out diverse operations related to electrical construction business while collaborating with fellow trade organizations in other prefectures’ Electrical Business Association, manufacturers and sellers of electrical construction materials. We are pleased to say that now we play the role of the industry’s national center. It has been over 60 years since JECA was associated.

As one of the major social infrastructures, electrical equipment supports people’s lives in many ways. With information-based society gets advanced, a need of this industry is growing and diversified. Also, we are anticipated to make much contribution to establish the low carbon society, which is the urgent issue nowadays.

To meet these circumstances, we must gain the understanding and recognition from people of all works of life in the country, of the facts that electrical items of equipment comprise sophisticated, complex and independent systems, and that the professional competence of electrical construction workers must be fully used for the construction and maintenance of such equipment.

To ensure that high-quality electrical equipment continues to be supplied, installed, and maintained in an adequate manner, we are determined to carry out a range of measures and programs enhance workers’ technical capabilities and skills, strengthen the management base, and secure and foster outstanding human resources. Our goal is to make this industry which respects for the environment and human beings, dreams and motivation in life can be found. We ask for your generous understanding and support of our concepts.
