ESTOH Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ikuno-ku, Osaka, President: Kenji Nakamura), which joined the NOK Group in 2023, has built a strong track record in the production of plastic gaskets used in lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) for electric vehicles (EVs). It handles every step from mold design through to final production.

Now part of the NOK Group, ESTOH is looking to tap into the Group’s R&D and marketing capabilities to unlock even greater synergy.
