Japan Energy
The petroleum products of Japan Energy Corporation were sold by filling stations under the brand name JOMO (for "joy of motoring").Aside from petroleum, mining, electronic materials, and operations, the company was also involved in transportation, construction, and engineering industries.[1] The predecessor to Japan Energy was first established in 1905 as a mining company in Hitachi, Ibaraki, which expanded into oil exploration in 1914.Originally called Nikko Kyodo Company, Ltd.; it was renamed Japan Energy Corporation the following year.[3] By late 2003, Japan Energy Corporation was part of a consortium that began exploring the natural gas field off the Aomori coast.
