NPJ Merger

Absorption Merger to Strengthen NSK’s Precision Machinery and Parts Business Segment

NSK Ltd. announced today that it will conduct an absorption merger with its wholly owned subsidiary NSK Precision Co., Ltd. (hereafter, “NPJ”). This is a simple merger with a wholly owned subsidiary. 

1. Purpose of merger
NPJ has been manufacturing precision machinery and parts for the NSK Group such as ball screws and linear guides. To strengthen profitability and further expand in this segment, NSK is transferring production from NPJ to NSK Kyushu Co., Ltd. and to Shenyang NSK Precision Co., Ltd., established in Shenyang, China in August 2009. As the transfer is progressing on schedule smoothly, NSK has decided to conduct this merger by absorption. Integration of the Japanese sales divisions of NPJ into NSK had already been completed in 2009. Through this merger, NSK will be able to offer even more advanced technology of precision machinery and parts to customers due to the combination of strengths of both NSK and NPJ in NSK’s Industrial Machinery Business Division.
