NSK was founded in 1916 and produced the first ball bearings made in Japan. The business grew steadily until the 1960s when the booming automotive industry created a huge demand for bearings. During the 1970s, NSK expanded to start manufacturing operations in the United States, Brazil and England. NSK now produces a full range of bearings and sells them worldwide.
