Sanei Sangyō K.K. (三栄産業㈱) was a Japanese camera maker. It made cameras under the Samoca brand from 1952. It was renamed to Samoca Camera K.K. (サモかカメラ㈱, Samoca Camera Co., Ltd.) in 1955.[1] The Samoca cameras were distributed by Hattori Tokei-ten at least until 1956.[2] The company was perhaps renamed Sanei Sangyō again in 1958,[3] and Samoca cameras are known at least until 1962.
The logo of the company consisted of AAA inside a triangle; the three "A" are certainly inspired by the company name "Sanei", which can be phonetically understood as "three A" in Japanese.
