History


Nisshinbo was established in 1907 as a cotton spinning business, Nisshin Cotton Spinning Co., Ltd. (日清紡績株式会社). It changed its English name to Nisshin Spinning Co., Ltd. in 1962.[4]


In the wake of World War II, Nisshin began to add non-textile segments to its business. Textiles accounted for 90% of its sales in 1960 but only 67% in 1980 and less than half by 1990.[5] During these years, Nisshinbo was part of the Fuyo Group keiretsu headed by Fuji Bank.[6]


In 2009, it adopted a holding company structure and renamed its parent company as Nisshinbo Holdings Inc.[4]



Products


Nisshinbo's textiles business remains active in the development of non-iron fabric, non-woven fabric and elastomers.[7] In 2015 it acquired Tokyoshirts, the largest men's shirt manufacturer/retailer in Japan.[8]


Nisshinbo's electronics business is focused on semiconductors and wireless equipment.[9] It manufactures drum brakes, disc brakes and friction materials for cars and trucks,[10] as well as toilet paper, wrapping paper, printer paper and other paper products.[11] In 2011 the company acquired TMD Friction and the combined business became the world's largest automotive brake friction manufacturer.[12]


Nisshinbo also operates a real estate arm, Nisshinbo Urban Development, which redevelops former Nisshinbo industrial properties for commercial and residential use.[13]
