Nisshinbo Holdings Inc. (日清紡ホールディングス株式会社, Nisshinbō Hōrudingusu Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese company formerly listed on the Nikkei 225. [4] It has a diverse line of businesses that include electronics, automobile brakes, mechatronics, chemicals, textiles, papers and real estate.
Nisshinbo was established in 1907 as a cotton spinning business, Nisshin Cotton Spinning Co., Ltd. (日清紡績株式会社). It changed its English name to Nisshin Spinning Co., Ltd. in 1962. [5]
In the wake of World War II, Nisshin began to add non-textile segments to its business. Textiles accounted for 90% of its sales in 1960 but only 67% in 1980 and less than half by 1990. [6] During these years, Nisshinbo was part of the Fuyo Group keiretsu headed by Fuji Bank. [7]
In 2009, it adopted a holding company structure and renamed its parent company as Nisshinbo Holdings Inc. [5]
Nisshinbo's textiles business remains active in the development of non-iron fabric, non-woven fabric and elastomers. [8] In 2015 it acquired Tokyoshirts, the largest men's shirt manufacturer/retailer in Japan. [9]
Nisshinbo's electronics business is focused on semiconductors and wireless equipment. [10] It manufactures drum brakes, disc brakes and friction materials for cars and trucks, [11] as well as toilet paper, wrapping paper, printer paper and other paper products. [12] In 2011 the company acquired TMD Friction and the combined business became the world's largest automotive brake friction manufacturer. [13] It sold TMD Friction again in 2023. [14]
Nisshinbo also operates a real estate arm, Nisshinbo Urban Development, which redevelops former Nisshinbo industrial properties for commercial and residential use. [15]
