Nitto creates new demand by pursuing the technological revolution (or new technology) as well as seeking the new application possibilities of its unique technologies and products. However, in the midst of rapid advancement of information technology and globalization today, offering customers only one kind of value at a time—for example business operation speed, technological superiority or service excellence—is no longer enough. In order to meet customers' diversifying needs, Nitto Denko has to offer more comprehensive, total solution than ever before.

The Solution Center allows customers to be exposed to Nitto Denko's extensive technological platform and gain a hands-on feeling of the company's unique expertise.

This represents Nitto Denko's ongoing efforts for generating new demand, under the current strategy of creating many a new opportunity.

 

[Background of the Solution Center launch]

1)   At Nitto Denko, sales section has conventionally taken the lead in the customer interfacing efforts. From now on, it is crucial for the company to realize an effective customer communication at any section within the organization.
2) While online marketing is getting more commonly utilized nowadays, face-to-face communication still serves significant part in developing a trusting relationship with customers.
