NSK Ltd. (NSK; Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President and CEO: Toshihiro Uchiyama) celebrated its 100th anniversary on November 8, 2016. To commemorate this occasion, the company donated bicycle helmets to children in Shinagawa ward elementary schools who did not yet own one. As a result, every child in Shinagawa ward who rides a bicycle now owns a helmet.
This initiative took place as part of our social contribution activities on the themes of “development of the next generation, and mutual harmony and benefit with communities.” The hope is to help reduce injuries when children ride their bicycles.
