Who We Are

Our Mission
Corporate Philosophy

We are contributing to the effective use oflimited resources on planet Earth, creating
new value of resources through surface
modification of all kinds of materials,
preserving the global environment, andrealizing an affluent society.

What is surface modification?
All materials have a surface. Each material has its characteristics, justas each person has their personality. Surface modification is a technology that alters only the boundary in contact with the outside world-- in other words, the surface -- without changing the material’s inherent characteristics. With this technology, we can develop or significantly alter the original characteristics of a material, occasionallyimparting properties that are precisely the opposite of the originalones.
For example, iron is prone to rusting, but rust can be prevented byforming a thin film on its surface. Meanwhile, steel has hard properties,
but modifying the depth from the surface to a few micrometers (μm)
level makes it harder and prevents wear. In other words, we can extend
the life of materials and increase the number of times they can be usedby overcoming their shortcomings and difficulties and enhancing theiradvantages.
Surface modification is derived from the accumulated knowledge ofpeople caring for things. It is a technology that truly embodies the concept of sustainability.

Who We Are

For satellites
that shine in thenight sky

Look around the city and see Nihon
Parkerizing’s technologies used everywhere.

Look, here, there and everywhere!

We have developed alubricant that iseffective even in thevacuum of space. We
supply it to artificialsatellites.

For airplanes
that fly throughthe skies

Every material has a surface. The surfaces vary widely in appearance
and feel, shiny or glittering, smooth or rough.
The surfaces have various functions that our five senses cannot

The Nihon Parkerizing Group specializes in surface modification,
which gives functionality to any surface. We are opening up the futureby adding functions to the surfaces of valuable materials in our daily
