NTN provides various products for industrial machinery and automotive maintenance needs. In industrial aftermarket applications, we provide bearings for general machinery and bearings used to repair equipment used in industries such as mining, paper, steel, cement, and food manufacturing. In automotive aftermarket applications, we satisfy customer needs with a product lineup of repair parts (auto parts) composed of bearings and peripheral components.
In addition to delivering products, we also provide technical services such as by holding the "NTN Aftermarket Academy" to help customers learn about bearings through lectures and practical training, and by holding technical workshops at customers' manufacturing sites using technical service units. Also, we support customers improving productivity and ensuring stable operation of their facilities, for example, by providing the NTN PORTABLE VIBROSCOPE, which makes daily maintenance of production facilities easier.

We are responding to the demands of our customers for long operating life, improved loading capacity, and higher speed, all of which are required by all types of industrial machinery, with the world's highest standard new-generation bearings, ULTAGE Series. In addition, through constant R&D efforts, we will launch bearings with even lower torque, more compactness and lighter weight to the marketplace, enabling environmental impact reduction in a variety of industrial machinery fields.
Looking ahead to the next generation, we will promote modularizations and intelligentization by deepening bearing technologies and integrating sensors and precision equipment technologies. In addition to developing high value-added products, we will develop new products and services by utilizing the abnormality detection technology, condition monitoring system (CMS), and IoT. Specifically, we launched sales of the Wind condition monitoring system for wind turbine and i-WRIST^TM, a Wrist Joint Module that contributes to automation and labor saving at manufacturing sites.By providing these products and services, we will contribute to the development of industry and the creation of a sustainable society.

Our work in the automotive segment includes developing more advanced bearings, hub bearings and driveshafts to create higher added value. We are also combining these core products with core technologies to develop module products. To prepare for the coming era of electrification of automobiles and autonomous driving, we have released "Electric Motor and Actuators" composed of ball screws, motors and controllers. We are working on expanding their range of applications and proposing them to customers. Through collaboration with alliance partners, we are expanding these products globally while breaking away from self-sufficiency in order to meet the existing needs of the automotive market, such as low fuel consumption and increased ride comfort, as well as the rapidly increasing demand for electrification.

We are committed to realizing a low-carbon society by contributing to energy saving of all machinery through the development of core technologies and new products. We are also actively developing natural energy-related products that can contribute to an energy circulation society by applying core technologies that we have cultivated into new areas. As a new initiative, we are also focusing on R&D by utilizing external collaboration to support regenerative medicine and drug discovery that will lead to early detection and treatment in a society where the birthrate is decreasing and the population is aging.
