Quickly Responding to Needs through "People and Organization"

NHK Spring has honestly engaged in and flexibly deepened "Monozukuri" without being bound by convention or success.
The New Field Exploration Team in the Research and Development Division is made up of volunteers of varying positions and ages who possess different specialist fields and work experience. Members are actively exploring new fields, such as mobility, information communications, and medical care, through participation in exhibitions and academic conferences, and through joint development with universities in Japan and overseas.

The passion of our employees, expressed as "I want to do this" or "I want to continue doing this", is the wellspring that creates the key parts for the next generation.

In addition to tackling immediate issues and requests, NHK Spring is also actively engaged in developing technologies that will be required further into the future.
Our Seating Business Development Department has developed seats that mitigate car sickness with an eye to 2030, when high-level automated driving will be in full swing. In the past, we generally improved body structure and suspension springs to reduce vehicle sway, but we have realized a method to reduce sway by supporting the back of the head with the headrest of the seat. In doing so, we have succeeded in lengthening the time until the onset of car sickness by about three times.
We achieve the safety and comfort required of next-generation vehicles not only by utilizing our own technologies cultivated over many years, but also through information-gathering capabilities derived from our dealings with top manufacturers in various industries and the flexible and multifaceted approach of our development team composed of members with diverse backgrounds.

As the electrification of automobiles gathers pace in recent years, the increasing volume and weight of motors and batteries poses a challenge for the industry as a whole. NHK Spring's automotive suspension spring products, in which we boast the largest share of the global market, are responding to this challenge by realizing further space saving and weight reduction. In this way, we are playing a role in the realization of next-generation automobiles.
Our President, who comes from a development background, attends dozens of research and development meetings a year to support the R&D department. With the encouragement of our President, who believes that "If you are afraid of failure, you cannot develop anything", we continue to take on new challenges every day with our strengths of risk-taking and tenacity to succeed beyond failure.
As a creative, challenging, development proposal-oriented company committed to satisfying and earning the trust of our customers, we are looking to the future beyond our 100th anniversary in 2039. Through "NHK Spring's Monozukuri" (manufacturing in good faith), we will provide various technologies and products and create new trends together with our customers.
