NITTOKU is envolving into a comprehensive manufacturer of Factory Automation equipment. As a global leader in the coil winding equipment industry, over the years NIttoku has developed a wide variety of advanced and innovative new products. just a few of the highlights include our multi-spindle, CNC-controlled universal coil winders and our fully automated peripheral winding systems. These and other NIttoku innovations all enjoy an outstanding reputation within the coil winding industry. Today, never content with the status-quo, Nittoku is moving even further into the lead by applying its superior capabilities in production technology and product development to new challenges. Rather than limiting ourselves to coil winding machinery of all kinds of Factory Automation systems to meet the needs of the 21st century. Because Nittoku products are used to produce components which are critical to the proper functioning of sophisticated electronic products, they must satisfy extremely harsh requirements relative top precision. To ensure this level of precision, quality control is pursued for optimum effectiveness in every phase of production. In line with goal, machining of every component is now carried out under direct numerical control (DNC); a 3-dimensional measuring system is adopted to ensure accuracy down to the micron; and design unity is pursued through the introduction of a computer-aided design (CAD) system. That we have already succeeded in ensuring optimum precision in all products is confirmed by a number of prestigious awards which we have received for our contributions to system automation and FA. Our success owes to our corporate commitment never for anything "second class". With each year, Nittoku's network is taking on ever broader scope. Among more recent developments, we have established NECOA INCORPORATED in the U.S. and opened sales offices in Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand. Through these dealers we are based around the Pacific rim, we are currently reinforcing our sales network in order to meet the rapid growth which is anticipated particularly in the U.S., Asian, and Japanese markets. These focused initiatives are an integral part of our corporate transformation to a comprehensive Factory Automation manufacturer of global scale. Nittoku Engineering has consistently offered our customers cutting-edge business solutions in the field of advanced electronics since our establishment as a manufacturer of automatic coil winding machinery in 1972. Responding to the rapid diversification of products that use our coil winding and component technology, we are committed to continuing to develop innovative products speedily. In addition, we hope to contribute to the improvement of the production efficiency of our customers through the high quality and functionability of our products.In addition to coil winding machinery, we are transforming ourselves into a general engineering company that supports the infrastructure of society through a diverse range of areas that use our proprietary coil winding technology such as FA systems and contactless smart cards. Management is targeting a financially sound and competitive company. Nittoku is striving to fulfill our responsibility to society. We are acting to achieve this through our policy, which is based on training human resources and strengthening risk management by strategically allocating assets to core businesses to enhance corporate value. As part of this policy, we are acting to establish a business structure that is focused on global standards. The 21st century will require the development of sophisticated technology and a rich natural environment. Based on a philosophy that "manufacturing is invention," all of our employees are united in the goal of striving to satisfy the needs and expectations of our customers, to promote new business and to develop new market innovations by emphasizing the co-existence of humans with machinery, and industry with the natural environment.
