What is glass fiber?

Strengths/Features

World’s first industrial production of glass fiber

Founded as a spinning company, Nittobo, under the motto “Let’s turn anything into fibers,” in 1938 became the first in the world to successfully produce glass fibers on an industrial scale.

Manufacturing technologies for producing the finest and thinnest glass fiber in the world

We are contributing to the miniaturization and high functionality of electronic devices with its super ultra-thin glass yarn and super ultrafine glass cloth, which are used as base materials for printed wiringboards.
