From “NK Works” to “Noritsu Precision”
– For Continued Trust and Improved Technology with a Support of New Shareholder –
At a special shareholders meeting held on February 26, 2016, a resolution was passed approving the transfer of NK Works shares from Noritsu Koki Co., Ltd. to LifeStyle Japan Limited Partnership.  The transfer was officially completed on February 29, 2016 and we have started our new business under the name of “Noritsu Precision Co., Ltd.”.
Since the foundation of Noritsu Koki in 1951 followed by the invention of the world’s first automated film processing process, we were established as a worldwide technology leader in the Imaging business.  In February 2011, NK Works was established as a subsidiary to Noritsu Koki dedicated to management, development, manufacturing, sales and after-sales service in the founding city of Wakayama, Japan.  The innovation and passion of our founder Kanichi Nishimoto remains intact and we will continue to grow and enhance the value of Noritsu brand.
The new company name, “Noritsu Precision” represents our vision and commitment to provide increased precision and high quality products to our valued worldwide customers.  We also reaffirm our determination to enhance the trust that our shareholders and customers have given to the Noritsu brand over the past 65 years.
* LifeStyle Japan is a limited partnership formed by Team Cool Japan (1%) and Takisada Osaka (99%).
