NOK Renews Partnership Agreement with Professional Soccer Team Júbilo Iwata for Third Consecutive Year
NOK Corporation (Headquarters: Shibadaimon, Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, Group Chief Executive Officer: Masao Tsuru; hereinafter referred to as "NOK") has renewed its “Ad Board Partner” agreement with Júbilo Co., Ltd (Headquarters: Iwata City, Shizuoka Prefecture; President: Takehisa Otomo; hereinafter "Júbilo Iwata"). This marks the third year of the partnership, and the NOK logo will once again be displayed on the back stand LED signage at Yamaha Stadium during the 2026/27 season.
NOK has two production facilities in Shizuoka Prefecture, including the NOK Shizuoka Plant. For many years, NOK has advanced manufacturing in close collaboration with the local community. On April 1, 2026, the company established NOK Shizuoka Corporation through the reorganization of its production companies.
As part of its longstanding ties with the local community, NOK has worked with Júbilo Iwata and Omaezaki City, one of the club’s hometowns, on loggerhead sea turtle conservation activities*1. In the 2026/27 season, the company will continue these efforts in collaboration with the club and the city.
Building on this three-party collaboration, NOK also supported Júbilo Iwata’s summer training camp, the “Omaezaki Camp”*2, as a partner. Held from July 17 to 26, 2026, it was the club’s first summer training camp in Omaezaki City.
