The retail business became quite successful. A sizable order in the mid 1950s from the Defence Department for wire harnesses for trucks and tanks bolstered their confidence and they decided to manufacture cables themselves.

The Finolex brand was born from “Fine” & “Flexibles” and “O” with an electric arc across it.
