NSK held an opening ceremony for its first production site in China’s inland region in the city of Hefei, Anhui Province, China. The plant began initial mass-production operations last October, and from 10 April, commenced full-scale operations.

With this new production site, NSK will increase its supply capacity of bearings for automobiles and industrial machinery, further expand its business in China, and continue to contribute to the sustainable growth of China.

This is the largest plant investment for NSK outside Japan with the installation of facilities intended to achieve labour savings and greater efficiency.

It will optimise bearing production in China through cooperation with the Kunshan ‘mother plant’.
