About SunTelephone Co., Ltd.
Started as a wholesale supplier of materials for telecommunications engineering works, SunTelephone quickly embarked on a course of nationwide expansion throughout Japan and today is a leading trading company specializing in telecommunications equipment.
In 1962, SunTelephone entered the equipment leasing business with a focus on telephone exchanges. They have subsequently expanded their business and have become an integrated leasing company offering a full range of products.
SunTelephone has also taken advantage of its position -- halfway between the manufacturer and the end-user -- to gather information on market needs and is involved in the planning and development of products that large manufacturers do not handle.
