Mt. Prospect, Ill. – NTN, a global leader in bearing manufacturing, celebrated its 100th anniversary on March 1, 2018.

“This is a momentous occasion,” stated Tetsuya Sogo, CEO – Americas Region, Senior Executive Officer, NTN Corporation. “With the spirit of our founders, Noboru Niwa and Jiro Nishizono, NTN has risen above various difficulties and developed a world-class business over the last century.

NTN 100th Anniversary

In 1918, NTN began research and engineering of its first bearing products in Japan as Nishizono Ironworks, named after founder Jiro Nishizono. Five years later in 1923, Nishizono Ironworks teamed up with Tomoe Trading Co. to manufacture and sell bearings. Then, in 1927, Noboru Niwa provided capital to establish NTN Manufacturing Co., Ltd.  Since then, NTN has continued to advance its research and engineering of bearing products while expanding its global operations.

Today, NTN is a precision equipment manufacturer that focuses primarily on bearings and has developed it global presence with 219 locations in 33 countries. Our focus on bearings, an “eco product” that reduces energy consumption by reducing friction, lends itself to our goal of developing technologies that make the world function smoothly.

“When a corporation has been doing business globally for 100 years, it is indeed reason for celebration,” said Pete Eich, President and CEO, NTN Bearing Corporation of America (NBCA). “We at NBCA are proud to do our part and will continue to do so as NTN marches onward with the goal of expanding its contribution to the realization of a smooth-running society, even as both society and business continue to change drastically.”

As the first bearing manufacturer to be awarded the prestigious Deming Prize for recognition of its quality products and systems, NTN bearings are often selected by world leading companies for use in applications such as automobiles, railroad cars, construction machinery, aircraft, medical equipment and more. In the automotive field alone, we enjoy the largest global market share of hub bearings and the second-largest global share of drive shaft bearings.
