About Nakamura Choukou

The story of Nakamura Choukou begins not in 1970 with its formal establishment, but in 1954 with the founding of Nakamura Steel Works in Sakai City, Japan. This was a company born from postwar industrial ambition, focused on high-precision manufacturing. The pivotal shift came in December 1970 when Nakamura Choukou Co., Ltd. was officially established, honing its expertise in processing challenging, super-hard materials. The company carved out a niche by developing and manufacturing specialized components like diamond nozzles for the electronics industry and spinnerets for chemical fiber production. A key figure in this journey is the current president, Makoto Inoue, who has guided the company's focus on innovation. A significant development was their high-performance diamond wire, a critical tool for slicing silicon ingots used in solar panels and LEDs. This innovation positioned them as a key supplier in the growing renewable energy and electronics sectors. The company’s trajectory took a significant turn in June 2015 when Nakamura Choukou launched its Initial Public Offering on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Mothers market, a move designed to fuel further growth. This event marked its transition from a specialized, family-influenced enterprise to a publicly traded company. Today, Nakamura Choukou continues to operate from Sakai City, leveraging its deep history in precision engineering to supply critical components for global high-tech industries.
