Nitto Boseki Co., Ltd.
 PROFILE
Once primarily a spinning company, Nitto Boseki Co., Ltd. (Nittobo) has added building materials, glass fibers, engineering, medical products, and specialty chemicals to the fabric of its operations. While the company still makes Core Twist Yarn, which is used in stretch fabrics, building materials and glass fibers account for almost 70% of sales. Its medical division develops diagnostic reagents. Environmental engineering remains the focus of its engineering division, which constructs noise-suppression, water-treatment, and other projects. Nittobo also makes polymer materials used in dye fixatives. A real estate utilization division turns former plants into income-producing real estate such as golf driving ranges.
