About NTN

NTN Corporation is a Japanese precision machinery manufacturer headquartered in Osaka, best known as one of the world’s largest bearing makers. Founded in March 1918, the company manufactures and sells bearings, driveshafts including constant velocity joints, and precision equipment for automotive, industrial machinery and aftermarket customers. Its bearing range spans ball and roller bearings, bearing units and sensor-integrated products such as its Talking Bearing for condition monitoring. For robotics and mechatronics, NTN offers the i-WRIST IWS series, a wrist joint robot module that applies its bearing and driveshaft expertise to compact, multi-axis positioning, alongside creepless bearings and other precision components.

The group operates globally, supplying original equipment manufacturers and distributors across the Americas, Europe and Asia from manufacturing bases in Japan and overseas. NTN positions its tribology and precision engineering as a foundation for a smoother, more sustainable society, extending from wind power and railways to factory automation and next-generation mobility. For directory partners, NTN is a large-scale, listed component supplier whose bearings, driveshafts and robot wrist modules sit inside a wide range of industrial and robotic equipment.

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	8 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.
Last verified	9 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.

Claim this profile to unlock response record, directory tenure and peer endorsements. The full methodology — what each signal measures and how it is calculated — is published in the Trust Signals methodology, including a change log.
