NSK and NTN to Form Joint Holding Company in Bearings Integration

NTN ( (JP:6472) ) has shared an update.

NSK Ltd. and NTN Corporation, two century-old Japanese bearings and precision equipment makers, have agreed to integrate their businesses under a new joint holding company via a share transfer structure. The move seeks to consolidate their technological strengths, safeguard Japan’s role as a key industrial base and build a more resilient global platform in motion and control markets.

The integration is driven by weakening demand in China, soft European manufacturing conditions and uncertainty linked to U.S. trade policies, which have pressured both firms despite ongoing restructuring efforts. By pooling management resources, transforming their business portfolios and emphasizing high value-added services such as product lifecycle management and maintenance operations, the companies aim to secure long-term profitable growth and enhance competitiveness for customers and other stakeholders.
