Our web site became easy to use by smart phones. We will keep making effort to improve customer convenience.

We are always trying to improve our customer service. We are looking forward to our future business dealings in the days ahead.

We have been working to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and energy saving and were awarded the "2015 Good energy management of Middle Japan Electricity use rationalization committee prize".

On January 24 our Ekiden team took part in the local Kanie-cho Ekiden which is held once a year. Kanie-cho Ekiden has been held 36 times. We has continued to participate in it since when we were NTN Powder Metal Corporation. On the cold windy weather, each 5 runner ran 2.6km. The whole distance was 13.0km!

The result was 8 out of 28. On the day empoyees came to cheer them with the flag of NTN-AMC in the roadside.

January 15 (Wed.) New Year's Celebration ceremony of Japan Powder Metallurgy Association was held.
Before the ceremony, the excellent employee commendation 2015 is carried out and Mr. Tatsuya Nakamura from our Kanie plant was awarded.

This prize is for those who have contributed to develop corporations for more than 10 years in the manufacturing field of powder metallurgy.

Recioients of the prize were 20 people from 15 companies.

NTN Powder Metal Corporation hereby announces that we merged with NTN consolidated subsidiaries Nippon Kagaku Yakin Co., Ltd on December 1, 2015 with the aim of improving its developmental capabilities for new products and increasing the speed of development. The resulting new company will change its name to ‘‘NTN Advanced Materials Corporation.‘‘

By this merger we are going to complement our technology and know-how each other. We are going to focus to develop new unit products for electric car and self driving cars car, and high added value products such as module products.

The new company ‘‘NTN Advanced Materials Corporation‘‘ will cover the manufacture and sales of composite material products, such as products that use powders and alloys made of powder, products that use carbon, and products that use high-molecular weight materials. Business efficiency will also be increased by consolidating the administration departments of both individual companies, and the development and manufacturing technologies of Nippon Kagaku Yakin will be maximized to expand sales by harnessing the business deployment capabilities of the NTN Group.

NTN Powder Metal Corporation which is NTN consolidated subsidiaries won the "New technology development prize" *in the machine materials and Processing division from the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers

Name of the prize
The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, New technology development prize" *in the machine materials and Processing division

*The prize is awarded to people who contributed to improve technology among who presented their new technology and new developed products at the sector planning, representative, meeting of organizer or co-sponsored in mechanical materials and material processing field.

Winning technology
Material development of composite sintered BEARPHITE formed different materials integrated molding

Technical Overview
We succeeded in developing the forming method which integrates two different materials called two-color molding for the first time in the world. By using the two-color molding and optimizing sintering condition, we developed BEARPHITE which has high hardness and abrasion resistant 　material in inner layer, and high strength structure materials in outer layer


Multi Layer BEARPHITE

Winning reason

Multi Layer BEARPHITE that was developed to improve its abrasion resistant is expected to contribute to make dramatic progress in industrial technology. Multi Layer BEARPHITE became stronger than Journal bearing which was used for joints of large industrial machinery and vehicles such as hydraulic shovels.

Conventionally, the largest pressurized pressure capability of the molding press that we was 120 tons. Now we introduced a molding press which has 400 tons maximum pressure capability.
We also can form large sintered products which are over φ100 by using technology of manufacturing precision instrument.

We look forward to your inquiry of large sintered product.
Please contact us about production possible size and shape, etc.

Our team participated in road race which was held under NTN Mutual Aid Association on March 1.

Their ranking was 18 out of 38.

Our running team participated in Kanie-cho road relays which is held once a year on January 1. The each of 5 runner ran 3.5Km and ran 17.3km of whole distans.

We opened the build center in the center of our factory. We improve preservation of the factory and speed of improvement by put into manufacturing technology department Preset Group, Maintenance Group, and Improvement department same place.
