Founded in Mar. 1918, NTN was mainly engaged in bearing R&D and manufacturing at the beginning. In 1934, with business expansion, NTN was restructured into a joint-stock company which mainly engaged in production and sales of bearings, constant velocity universal joints, precision machinery and others.

In the past over 90 years since its foundation, NTN has been providing global market with all kinds of mechanical products which are indispensable for industrial development with bearings as the main category and expanding its business scale constantly. Now, it has been ranked as the world's second largest comprehensive bearing manufacturer and also the world's second largest constant velocity universal joint (an important part for automobile driving system) manufacturer.

Since its establishment, NTN has been constantly expanding their business in global scope. Currently, in addition to 18 production bases, 3 R&D centers and 27 sales companies in Japan, NTN (Japan) Group also has 25 factories in 9 countries, 3 R&D centers in 2 countries and 44 sales companies in 17 countries. The NTN group currently has 15,795 employees in total, including 5,519 Japanese employees and 10,276 oversea employees. In 2007, the group’s sales were 534 billion yen (about RMB 34.2 billion yuan) where oversea sales accounted for more than 50%. This proportion is believed to be further increased along with the constant oversea business expansion of NTN (Japan) Group.

NTN entered China in recent years. Through just a few years of development, its manufacture and sale modes have been gradually formed. In June 2005, NTN China Headquarter- NTN (China) Investment Co., Ltd. was established; currently, it has seven factories in China (in Shanghai, Changzhou, Guangzhou, Pinghu, Beijing and Nanjing) and two branches in Beijing and Guangzhou.

Along with the company’s rapid growth and scale expansion, we expect more talents to join us for joint development.
