  Comments:
Apparently renamed to Nidec Precision Corporation sometime in 2023. Probably still worth having this entry though, since it's had this name for almost 80 years. In this case I'll just shorten it to "COPAL/コパル" used on old products.

Originally founded in 1946 and became part of Nidec in 1998. They specialize in precision instruments and components - things like camera shutters, optical equipment parts, micro switches, timers, and small precision motors.
