About NITTA Corporation

NITTA Corporation is a Japanese industrial products company founded in 1885 in Osaka — where it began as Japan’s first manufacturer of power transmission belts — and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It is filed here for its robot end-effector line, which sits inside its mechatronics business alongside its much larger belt, conveyor, hose and tube operations. The filed product is SOFTmatics, a soft robot hand for handling objects, designed for workpieces that rigid grippers damage or cannot hold reliably; the same mechatronics range includes automatic tool changers, swivel joints and interface units used on industrial robots, including gyro swivels for robot wrists. Around that core, Nitta sells power-transmission and conveyor belts and conveyor units for logistics and production lines, thermoplastic tubes and fittings used in pneumatic systems, semiconductor equipment and industrial robotics, air-filtration products, and functional materials such as Intelimer adhesive tapes and RFID magnetic sheets.

Published company profiles put its workforce at roughly 3,000 employees, with sales across Japan, the rest of Asia, Oceania, the Americas and Europe through subsidiaries including operations in the United States, the Netherlands, China, Thailand, India and Brazil. For directory partners, Nitta is a listed, century-old component maker whose soft-gripper and tool-changing products address the last metre of a robot cell: how the arm actually holds the part.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	9 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
