R&D

Seeking the next form

Good technology evolves in the same way as life itself. One technology is born, matures, produces new technology, and is passed on to the next generation.

Since our founding, Nichiban has honed new technologies in this way. Now, with an eye towards the next era, research is being continued every day with the aim of realizing unprecedented advanced technologies. It is an activity that is a lifeline for Nichiban, aiming to be a true “development-type company”. For many years, we have discovered a specialized theme, unique to a company that has studied a wide range of products and started to work as a project that will lead to a new future.

Technology utilization

Nichiban makes use of the adhesive technology that it has cultivated in its research and development to produce a variety of products that are "friendly to people" and "friendly to the environment." Going forward, we will continue to create new materials and technologies, and actively promote initiatives that create high value-added products for growth, in order to deliver products that are useful for our customers' lives.
