We will realize a sustainable “NAMERAKA Society” by utilizing NTN’s core technology of bearings in a wide range of fields.

NTN, a global bearing manufacturer with over 100 years of history!

NTN’s main product “Bearing,” a component that supports rotation of various machinery

Bearing supports smooth rotation of various machinery such as automobiles, rolling stocks, electronic devices and wind turbines. It is also an eco-friendly product that contributes to energy saving of machines by extremely reducing friction when the shaft rotates.
NTN supports the lives of people around the world behind the scenes with bearings.
