「We are continuing to build a business model that integrates mechanical elemental technologies such as winding, tension control and handling with a proprietary OS enabling high-function multiaxis synchronous control through a conveying system and turns them into a platform, thereby providing production systems that enable users to compete successfully in global markets.」

「To provide state-of-the-art production systems and stable services even amid the recent rise in geopolitical risk, we are establishing a one-team structure in which headquarters and overseas bases act as one and respond swiftly and flexibly to the needs and wants of each region and user. This includes establishing microfactories and service bases close to users to add functions to and modify machinery and equipment.」

「We are continuing to build a business model that integrates the mechanical elemental technologies we have explored and advanced over many years, including winding, tension control and handling, with a proprietary OS enabling high-function multiaxis synchronous control through a conveying system and turns them into a platform, thereby providing production systems that enable users to compete successfully in global markets.」

「Under the concept of local production for local consumption, we promoted a system for remote sales discussions, specification meetings, completion checks and installation support, increased production efficiency by transferring order-taking, production and service operations to overseas bases, and promoted “substitution for production engineering” that accurately captures customer needs and wants, as well as collaboration and co-creation with customers and suppliers. As a result, orders on a non-consolidated basis for the first half increased 18.9% year on year to ¥12,874 million.」

「We developed multiple platforms that form the basis for building total precision factory automation lines by equipping production systems centered on advanced elemental technologies such as winding, tension control and handling with our proprietary OS, which enables multiaxis synchronous control, and with state-of-the-art conveying technologies. Using the “Blue Lake Strategy,” which promotes collaboration and co-creation with customers through open innovation under the key phrase “substituting for production engineering,” we responded rapidly to continually emerging customer needs and pursued both deeper development of existing fields and exploration of adjacent business areas.」

「In terms of orders, we secured a large order for traction motors in the mobility sector ahead of the launch of sales of next-generation regular-size EVs.」

「By establishing bases around the world, our group communicates Japanese technologies to each region, adapts them to local needs, and provides one-stop solutions and global support. NITTOKU EUROPE GmbH., established in 2015, achieved rapid growth, with both sales and orders performing strongly.」

「We have continued to conduct deliveries and inspections using remote technologies developed previously. We also advanced our “With Corona” operating structure, including the transfer of part of our order-taking and production operations to our European and Chinese subsidiaries.」

「Under the concept of local production for local consumption, we expanded our overseas production structure to minimize the movement of people, utilized remote technologies, and transferred part of our order-taking and production operations to our European and Chinese subsidiaries. We continued to deploy our strengths further toward the new normal and work to restore business performance.」

「As a company responsible for proposing optimization of total precision factory automation line systems, we are increasingly expected to accurately identify seeds and needs, and inquiries are recovering.」

「With elemental and production technologies derived from winding as its core, our group has adopted the following basic policies: improving customer satisfaction through value creation, increasing earnings through enhanced functions and capabilities, and thorough compliance. With the enhancement of all forms of value surrounding our group, including corporate, shareholder and customer value, in mind, we have adopted “Becoming a small but brilliant, globally No. 1 company with a strong presence” as our guiding principle. We aim to enhance value for all stakeholders, become recognized by a sustainable society, achieve global growth and become a total precision factory automation manufacturer.」

「Wisdom does not arise where there is no knowledge or experience. Our global niche-leading strategy is centered on a business model that combines a diverse range of elemental technologies, processes and materials expertise with the latest digital technologies to develop, build and provide production lines.」

「Our group’s main business is a total-solutions business that includes the development and manufacture of production equipment for coils and motors, which are key items for decarbonization, a major theme in the climate change and clean energy fields under the Sustainable Development Goals pursued worldwide. We also aim to contribute to the global environment and international society based on the SDGs by pursuing solutions for factory automation and smart factories as themes related to technological innovation and labor, alongside decarbonization.」

「Our group aims to build a global brand as a precision factory automation solutions engineer. Rather than merely developing production equipment that meets customer requirements, we become involved in developing the customer’s products, build the best production engineering solution for commercializing those products, and provide the optimal equipment to bring that solution to life.」

「To meet society’s demand for advanced capabilities and differentiate ourselves from equipment manufacturers in other countries, we are pursuing a strategy centered on innovation in production equipment that directly and rapidly captures and satisfies customer needs for higher performance, miniaturization, high-quality production and labor saving. The aim is to develop equipment as a solutions partner for the production operations of manufacturers in various countries seeking to become the “number-one players” worldwide in electrical, electronic, communications, automotive and other industries, and to build a brand as the “only-one supplier” at production sites that increases the value added of players across a range of industries.」

「In particular, we are focusing on expanding our scope into total factory automation lines that include assembly of modular products, thereby differentiating ourselves within the winding machine and factory automation industries. This differentiation has enabled us to provide solutions to manufacturers narrowing their investments to high-quality and high-efficiency production amid the recent uncertain economic environment. Orders in the first quarter on a non-consolidated basis totaled ¥7,903 million, exceeding the record ¥7,890 million recorded in the same quarter of the previous year. Quarterly orders totaled ¥9,036 million, the second-highest figure after the record ¥12,081 million recorded in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2017.」
