Nichia

The origin of Nichia came from the inspiration of Nichia's founder, Nobuo Ogawa, to utilize limestones in his hometown of Tokushima, for the production of calcium compound used in pharmaceutical materials. Nichia has strived for monotsukuri* with its original technologies, while expanding its product range from calcium compound to phosphors, LEDs, Laser Diodes, cathode materials for Lithium-ion batteries, and magnetic materials. Despite many obstacles and difficulties, Nichia has succeeded in developing several of the world's best products based on the unfaltering foundational belief, “creating the world's best products by working earnestly and utilizing the technology, full of wisdom, and expertise of all Nichia employees.”
