The company also produces industrial and equipment products including ceramic products, spring mechanisms, pipe support systems, automatic parking systems, polyurethane products, metal-based printed circuit boards, security products, lighting equipment, and golf club shafts. NHK Spring leverages its proprietary spring technology across diverse industries such as automotive, information and communications, semiconductor manufacturing, and medical fields.
The company was founded in 1939 and is headquartered in Japan. It operates globally with a significant focus on Japanese automotive manufacturers as key customers. NHK Spring recently undertook strategic operational changes including the decision to dissolve and liquidate certain Chinese subsidiaries (NHK Seating (Hubei) Co., Ltd. and FNK China Co., Ltd.) in response to a slowdown in sales from Japanese-owned auto manufacturers in China as part of resource concentration efforts. It is expanding its motor core business with new investments in India to enhance its automotive components portfolio. Additionally, NHK Spring developed a new hybrid conducting spring/structure series of high-performance metal springs, reflecting ongoing innovation in core technology. Financially, the company reports solid sales and profit figures, with a forecast of continued growth in net sales and operating profits for the fiscal year ending March 2026.
NHK Spring operates through four main business segments: Automotive Suspension Springs, Automotive Seating, Precision Springs and Components, and Industrial Machinery and Equipment and Others. It serves a broad customer base in automotive, industrial machinery, semiconductor, and other advanced manufacturing sectors. The company emphasizes technological advancement in spring manufacturing, quality control, and integrated sales and management systems to maintain its competitive position across global markets.
These latest major changes and comprehensive product offerings illustrate NHK Spring's strategic focus on core spring technologies and precision components, supported by geographic expansion and operational refinement targeting sustainable growth and enhanced customer solutions worldwide.
