Message

Message from the President

President and CEO Yoshihisa Nozaki

I am tremendously excited and emotional to have such a memorable moment, the 50th anniversary of the GTR products.
Along with gratitude for the many customers who have given us their support over fifty years, I am very proud on of the hard work and passion of our associates who have been involved in GTR products.

Having begun operation with sewing machine manufacturing, our company diversified to producing small gears for sewing machines and then to production of the aluminum die-cast frames used for sewing machine casings.
The merge of this aluminum die-casting technology with gear technology led to the creation of reducers: the production of gearmotors under the GTR brand started in 1974.Thereafter, we have provided various products and services suited to the times, realizing the value our customers need.
For our company, GTR products truly embody technical transition.

Preserving the traditions built by our predecessors, but breaking the conventional rules and frameworks, we continue to pursue our ideal manufacturing to deliver the excitement to everyone liked with Nissei by providing the optimal technologies, products, services.

President and CEO Yoshihisa Nozaki
