In July 1951, Nippon Miniature Bearing Co., Ltd. (NMB) / MINEBEA Co., Ltd. was founded in Tokyo’s Itabashi Ward as Japan’s first manufacturer specializing in miniature ball bearings. The company was formed after the war by engineers from the former Manchuria Aircraft Company upon their return to Japan from Manchuria, and their dreams and passion were focused on the growth of the aircraft industry.
Today, the company has grown to include facilities in 18 countries around the world with over 55,000 employees. NMB provide the world with products that are essential to everyday life, from ball bearings to machined components, rotary components, electronic devices and components, and more.
