Aiming to be a corporate group that continues to create a global No.1 niche business
100 Years of History, and Beyond
The Nittobo Group began life as a textile manufacturer in Fukushima Prefecture in 1923. Since then, more than 100 years have passed. In the glass fiber, medical, and other fields we have brought one “first globally” and “first in Japan” material after another into the world, establishing a history of taking on new challenges. This history of converting the waves of each era into opportunity, while continuing to refine our remarkable technology, is a source of great pride to us all.
Strength resides in the frontline
The true source of our strength lies, above all else, on the frontline. Nittobo’s products are by no means flashy. Nevertheless, they are alive with the spirit of engineers who demonstrate the persistence and tenacity of craftworkers focused on quality. We steadily and consistently accumulate day-to-day improvements. I believe that it is precisely this attitude that has created the Nittobo value that is recognized all over the world.
Look at the big picture, start with the details
The world is in an era of violent change. While at all times taking a broad perspective on what is happening in the world around us (looking at the big picture), in our day-to-day work we focus on the meticulous practice of the work in front of us without compromise of any kind (start with the details). Environment and energy, digital society, and health, security & safety. By providing products that use our proprietary technology in response to these major social issues, we will work for their resolution.
The challenge of a global No. 1 niche businesses
What we are aiming for is not the simple pursuit of scale. We unearth latent demand that nobody else has noticed, and use our proprietary technology to build positions that could only be achieved by Nittobo. We aim to be a peerless partner that is deeply trusted, and that makes customers all over the world glad that they chose Nittobo.
Have big dreams, make steady progress
In preparation for the next 100 years, our dreams are expanding hugely. However, we still have many points of immaturity as an organization. While listening to our customers and members of local communities, and occasionally suffering severe rebukes, I hope that we can work together as a team to develop step by step. I ask you humbly for your continued support going forward.
