The company's origins trace back to October 25, 1918, when Sanjirō Matsuura, alongside a group of engineers and merchants, established Nitto Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. Their foundational insight was to address post-WWI shortages and high prices of imported electrical insulation materials in Japan by domestically producing adhesive tapes and rubber products. This strategic move laid the groundwork for the company's future in specialized materials manufacturing.

Nitto Denko serves a broad base of industrial customers who require highly specialized and reliable materials for their products and processes. The company continually pushes the boundaries of material science, aiming to be an essential and leading ESG company that consistently delivers innovative solutions. Its long-term vision focuses on creating value through unique functional materials that inspire and contribute to societal progress.
