Nisshinbo Industries, Inc.
 PROFILE
Nisshinbo Industries has been spinning its textile spell since 1907, but today less than half of the company's sales are from textile products. Nisshinbo's textile group spins, weaves, knits, dyes, and finishes cotton material for sheets, shirts, denim, and fabric used in uniforms. It also makes yarns and spandex, used in pantyhose. Nisshinbo's non-textile products include automotive anti-lock brake systems, polyurethane foam for insulation, tissue and toilet papers, metal-cutting machines, and press brakes. Nisshinbo has teamed with German tire maker Continental AG to make car brakes for Japanese and South Korean markets. In response to Japan's economic slowdown, Nisshinbo continues to move operations overseas.
