| Namiki has been at the cutting edge of technological
innovation since 1939, when we began producing synthetic sapphire
jewel bearings for electrical measuring instruments.
During the next 70 years, we have utilized our unique gem
processing technology and extensive research capabilities to develop
successful products in a range of high-tech industries.
Our expertise in manufacturing jewel bearings grew through the
1940's and 1950's into producing watch parts and advanced diamond
phonograph styluses which manufacturers readily chose over others to
give added value to their products. In the early 1970's and 1980's,
Namiki's precision diamond processing technology contributed to major
advances in bioscience, semiconductors, plating, micro-precision
mechanical components.
Today, Namiki, which is using Nanotechnology, is a recognized
leader among precision component manufacturers who are representing
the core industries of the 21st century, such as mobile & optical
communications, semi-conductors, and medical, physics & chemicals. For
example, approximately 100 million pieces per annum of our micro
motors have been used as vibration components in the mobile phones.
Thus, Namiki is striving to become the world de-facto standard for
such core industry components. We are continuing our product
development, as a components manufacturer, focusing on R & D to an
extremely high level in the leading areas of medical equipment,
physics & chemistry, aerospace, biotechnology, and the environment
which will be the new key industries of the 21st century in Japan.
