Diversity and dedication.

Nisshinbo Automotive Corporation (NAC) and Nisshinbo Automotive Manufacturing, Inc. (NAMI) are part of the Nisshinbo Group, consisting of 59 subsidiaries and 40 affiliates worldwide. Nisshinbo was established in 1907, when it was producing yarns and threads. In the 1940s, Nisshinbo was called upon to manufacture automotive friction materials and developed a process using woven fabric embedded with friction material.

Nisshinbo continues the evolution with a library of more than one thousand different recipes, each specific to customer applications.
