Group CEO Message

NOK started life in 1941 and has continued to achieve sustainable growth by pioneering advanced technologies and innovative solutions.

We now have five companies at the core of our business development: NOK, MEKTEC, NOK KLUEBER, UNIMATEC, and SYNZTEC, each offering unique technologies and products. The NOK Group's 93 companies are located in 15 countries and regions and employ around 38,000 people.

Together, we provide technologies and products for all industrial fields, including automobiles and other mobility sectors, electronic products - centered on PCs and smartphones - office automation equipment, medical and healthcare devices, industrial robots, and satellites.

The NOK Group is currently implementing its Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2023-FY2025) under the theme of Constructing a Foundation for Transformation. This plan focuses on four key transformation initiatives: Create new growth drivers, Optimize operational structure for global expansion, Construct diverse human capital foundation, and Optimize management resources.

In May 2023, we redefined our Purpose and Values, followed by launching a unified Corporate Identity (CI) for the NOK Group in April 2024 to foster a shared set of values among employees worldwide. As Global One NOK, we are strengthening our global brand and reputation while advancing a unified corporate culture. Alongside this, we are refining our business operations framework to drive the NOK Group’s unified growth on a worldwide scale.

The NOK Group is committed to continuing its product development, which is built upon a robust base of foundational research and results in large-scale, stable, and high-quality production. We call this "Essential Core Manufacturing - The manufacture of pivotal products that shape society." Through this approach, we aim to provide greater safety and comfort, the cornerstones of a prosperous society.
