The Nikken name derives from the Japanese phrase for ‘research every day’. As we say at Nikken, ‘Our attitude and spirit are based on building upon our research every day to contribute to the industry of tomorrow with our technologies and ideas’.

The spirit that drives our product development is to constantly observe and discuss industry around the world, and contribute to it by bringing a new,scientifically based solutions and ideas to address the most pressing needs of diverse industries.

Our high-precision products are brought to life by our cutting edge equipment and our whole-hearted devotion to serving industry with advanced technology.

Just like the majority of our customers around the world NIKKEN are an engineering company with an outright passion for manufacturing in our hearts! Indeed one of the symbols everyone knows NIKKEN for is ‘KOKORO’ which itself means human heart! The meaning of our company name ‘NIKKEN’ also provides an insight into our history and our ground in philosophies. Our founding principle of ‘everyday study and research’ has led to an extensive support network and the opening of two world renowned Innovation Centres. These centres not only allow us to expand product development, producing some of the best tool holders, rotary tables and presetters in the world but also research new solutions and assist customer projects- demonstrating that when you invest in NIKKEN and our solutions you also become our partner. Like we used to say many years ago ‘Partners in Precision’!      

Opened in late 2015, The NIKKEN Innovation Centre is of Global importance, we take projects from our parent in Japan, from our customers around Europe and around the globe and we develop practical solutions. Looking in to the future we see more and more opportunities in those areas, in new material fields and new processes.
