As an indispensable partner for not only Japanese but also for global automotive manufacturers, Nippon Piston Ring Co., Ltd. is playing an important roll. In this issue, we visited their Tochigi plant in Nogi Town and interviewed with Kaoru Oono, Group leader, in General Administration Group.
【NPR product lines Targeting "Only one, No.1 products"】
Our main business is manufacturing and sales of production and replacement parts, for automobile and land and marine engines in domestic and overseas , including such functional engine parts as piston rings, cylinder liners, and valve mechanical parts.
In here Tochigi plant, "Piston rings" "Assembly type sintered cam shafts""Rocker arms", and "Metal injected parts",etc. are manufactured.
By having the Control Center (a division of logistics) in Tochigi plant, we are also playing a roll of collecting all products manufactured at our two group companies, NPS Fukushima Works Co.,Ltd. and NPS Iwate Co., Ltd., and distributing them to our customers in and out of Japan.
It had been 29 years since we moved from Kawaguchi City in Saitama to Nogi Town in October 1984. Few large-sized natural disasters, a good access of infrastructure of roads and rails, and further Nogi Town is located in the southern part of Tochigi where can be communed not only in Tochigi, but also from a part of Saitama, Gunma, and Ibaraki prefectures, are among the merits we are recognizing.
【"Assembly type of Sintered Cam Shaft"】
By utilizing our unique technologies, such as Tribology technologies (anti-friction, wear-resistant) developed during the 76 years of an exclusive manufacturer of internal combustion engine's parts, we are providing safe and environment friendly products. For example, A 4 cycle engine repeats four cycle of movements, Suction→Compression→Explosion→Exhaust. The engine consist of diverse parts which create frictions while matching each other, and may leads to an uncompleted combustion. To improve those problems, with applying less-wearing materials and materials or methods do-not-attack (do not give wearing) the opponents, at the same time in contributing for environments, we provide products which features reduction of wears, noises, fuel consumptions, and exhaust emissions. This is our company's strength.
In considering to help the local community, we invite pupils and students from elementary and junior high schools for plant tours, and accept an internship for high school and university students.
We also actively employ handicapped persons by communicating with Kokubunji Support School and Employment Support Center.
Additionally, we are helping for the improvements for better town life by participating local events such as "Himawari festival" cosponsored by Nogi Town Factories Association, and cleaning of the road from the plant to Nogi station where many employees are commuting every day.
We have an impression that many Tochigi people have a good personality and friendliness. If you are interested, let's work together in our company by enjoying "Monozukuri" and "Kirarito hikaru- Machizukuri" (enlightening for creation of town life) together with local community.
