Nitto Kohki History    

In October 1956, Toshio Mikiya (current director-chairman) succeeded in developing an Air Micrometer, which measures sizes in units of 0.1 microns, and founded Nitto Kohki to manufacture and market this invention. The company also developed -- as a jig for connecting fluid lines -- high-performance fluid couplings, which were marketed under the "CUPLA" brand name as quick-connecting devices. This was the genesis of the high-performance couplings that are now known worldwide under the "CUPLA" brand name. Since that time, the company has commercialized some 25,000 different types of products.

Recognizing a potentially massive demand for a portable drill press, Mr. Mikiya next developed the "ATRA" portable drill press, which incorporates an electromagnet (Atra Ace) . This product, continuously updated and improved over the years, still ranks as one of our most popular products.

Our founder was committed to the goal of producing "energy- and- labor-saving" technology, by developing industrial tools that could be operated with equal ease by both absolute beginners and experienced workers. At that time, Japan had an abundant workforce and factories could easily find skilled workers for any operation. However, Toshio Mikiya had a sense of mission that Japan should move beyond depending solely on personal skills that called for long experience. He believed that, with continued reliance on such skills, Japanese industry would never be able to catch up with its Western counterparts. At the same time, he foresaw that someday Japan would face a situation of high wages and labor shortages. These convictions gave birth to his goal.

Today, Mr. Mikiya's predictions have become reality. We have been in an era of worldwide labor saving. Armed with core technologies in fluid engineering and mechanical engineering, Nitto Kohki continues to develop new products that correspond to market demands. We are currently introducing a number of unique products in such diverse fields as quick-connecting fluid couplings, machines and tools, linear pumps, door closers, and many more.
