Nitto’s Business Models for Creating “Essential” Value
The Nitto Group aims to achieve both the resolution of social issues and the creation of economic value by delivering “essential” value to society. As a starting point for this effort, we certify products and services that are recognized for their particularly high contribution to the environment and human life as PlanetFlags™ / HumanFlags™ (Flags).
In addition, by leveraging our Sanshin Activities, which stimulate new demand through the development of new applications and new products, we have pursued the Niche Top Strategy（Global Niche Top™/Area Niche Top™） – aimed at achieving the No. 1 market share in highly specialized niche fields – and have driven sustained business growth.
Furthermore, we are promoting across the Nitto Group a select range of products and services that meet the recognition standards of both Flags and the Niche Top Strategy as “Double Recognized Products and Services”. Through the promotion of Double Recognition, we aim to realize both a high level of social contribution and strong profitability, thereby aiming to enhance corporate value.

Finding "new" applications for existing products and adding new technologies to them or using new technologies to develop "new" products and expanding their applications, thereby creating "new" demand - Literally translated as "three new activities," Sanshin Activities is Nitto Group's proprietary marketing approach which we have diligently followed for more than 50 years by repeating the cycle of the three "news" for continued progress. |

Starting from vinyl tape – an existing product originally used for electrical insulation – Nitto has repeatedly driven the development of new products by incorporating a wide range of new technologies and functions, while also pioneering new applications. Through these efforts, we have created new demand across a broad spectrum of customers and industries, including electric wires, housing, automobiles, semiconductors, electronic and optical components.
Closely engaging with customers and promoting Sanshin Activities through the integrated collaboration of R&D, Production, Sales and Administration is part of Nitto’s “DNA of innovation” and serves as a key driving force behind the Group’s growth. These Sanshin Activities form the foundation for the continuous creation of double recognized products and services.
