The Nikke Group is a corporate group united by the corporate philosophy of being "gentle and warm" toward people and the planet.
Since its establishment over 100 years ago, Nikke has been seeking to provide products and services that meet customers' demands and make a contribution to society. Starting as a manufacturer of wool products, we have continued to expand our business, which is currently divided into the following six domains:

"textile and clothing materials," including development, manufacture and wholesaling of materials and products for clothing primarily incorporating wool; "industrial textiles," consisting of development, manufacture and wholesaling of a wide variety of products from wool to chemical synthetic fibers, and from thread to string, felt, non-woven textiles and carpets; "engineering," covering the design, manufacture and sale of industrial equipment; "development," involving real estate development focused on harmonious community development; "community support services," entailing development of commercial facilities providing goods and services to meet the needs of a wide range of local users; and "consumer goods distribution," encompassing the distribution and retailing of consumer goods with an emphasis on strong branding and marketing know-how.

In 2016, Nikke will celebrate the 120th anniversary of its foundation. In preparation for this milestone, and as a compass pointing the way to the Group's future, Nikke has formulated the "Nikke Group Medium- to Long-Term Vision (NN120 Vision)" outlining goals for the coming years and further clarifying its corporate image.

By facing each new challenge with passion and pride, the Nikke Group will continue striving to generate new value and build a firm foundation of lifestyle culture, provide people with spiritual enrichment, and remain in harmony with the earth's environment.
