Company information
Nikko Industry Co., Ltd. specializes in hydraulic bulge forming (hydroforming) using materials such as metal pipes and plates as its core technology, enabling the shaping of three-dimensional forms that are difficult to achieve with traditional casting and pressing techniques. Our commitment to bulge processing began with the use of a patent invented by the Industrial Technology Institute in 1963, and we have felt a growing demand for further application development due to the remarkable advancements of this method in the recent automotive industry in Europe and the United States. Leveraging our extensive experience and rich track record, we utilize a variety of uniquely developed plastic processing technologies for pipes, both hard and soft, and by adopting bulge forming that leads to a shift in thinking, we aim to propose improvements in safety and quality, as well as the potential for cost reduction through weight reduction and significant labor savings to various users. We are committed to making efforts toward realizing product development that meets your expectations.
