The criteria evaluated for this award included attracting investments from outside South Korea, contributing to technological innovation between South Korea and Japan and the creation of new jobs as a result of NSK Korea's new production plant in South Korea.
A Message from the President of NSK Korea
It is indeed a great honor to receive the Order of Industrial Service Merit. Ever since NSK established production and sales sites in South Korea in 1987, business activities have grown and expanded alongside South Korea's economic growth. Actually, NSK's continued business expansion can be attributed to the understanding and support of customers, suppliers, employees, and local communities. Currently, in South Korea we have two production sites, two sales sites, and two technology centers, all of which have continued to support the business of South Korean companies. We will continue to do our best to contribute to South Korea's development through our business activities.
