Special Issue; Products for Industrial Machinery - NTN

Message on our 88th anniversary
Bearings are vital components for carrying the rotating loads of all types of machinery,
from automobiles, aircraft, trains and other vehicles to construction machinery, machine
tools and electronic equipment.
NTN was founded in 1918 dedicated to the manufacture of bearings, and we are now celebrating
our 88th anniversary thanks to the continued support of numerous NTN product users.
Throughout our history, we have taken on diverse challenges, including activities in overseas
markets for many years and expansion of our business line into the development and
manufacture of constant velocity joints. Now, we have grown into a global bearing
manufacturer with bases in 19 countries worldwide.
In 1989, as an expression of our intention to make even more positive contributions to
the world, we changed our corporate name from Toyo Bearing Mfg. Co. Ltd., the name
we had used for many years, to NTN Corporation. We continue to remain focused
on the new challenges that we face in the global market.
