< Overview of Nakamura Choukou Co.,Ltd. >
Starting with the manufacture of bearing components in its early years,
Nakamura Choukou has consistently driven technological innovation in high-growth industries of each era. The company successfully developed diamond nozzles for electronic component mounting equipment and diamond wire for semiconductor material processing, achieving world-leading market shares in these advanced fields.
Now, Nakamura Choukou has strategically transformed its diamond wire business from a volume-oriented market into a specialized, high-value-added niche sector, establishing a strong and highly profitable business structure.
Looking ahead, the company’s next major growth driver is nano-sized zeolite, a cutting-edge material being developed jointly with the University of Tokyo and Osaka Metropolitan University. Nakamura Choukou aims to expand its applications into areas such as CO₂ capture, antibacterial and antiviral technologies, and healthcare solutions, with the goal of growing this business into one that surpasses its former core operations.
At the same time, the company is promoting a forward-looking succession strategy, combining growth investments through the effective utilization of corporate assets with the proven management capabilities of its next-generation leadership, who have already demonstrated success in restoring business profitability. With these foundations in place, Inoue Precision has embarked on a new challenge: achieving a market capitalization of 10 billion yen by 2030.
