Shanghai NTN Wins JATCO North America Quality Excellence Award

In October 2025, at the "2025 JATCO North American Quality Manufacturing Seminar and Supplier Conference" held in Mexico, Shanghai NTN Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shanghai NTN") won the "FY24 Quality Excellence Award" from JATCO for its outstanding delivery performance of zero defects and zero complaints throughout the year. This award not only recognizes its top-level standards in the field of precision bearing manufacturing, but also highlights its key position in the global automotive supply chain.

I. Exceptional Quality Control: Achieving a "Double Zero" Delivery Record

In fiscal year 2024, Shanghai NTN achieved a "double zero" goal—zero customer complaints and zero product defects—in the deep groove ball bearings for CVT transmissions supplied to JATCO's Mexican plant. This achievement is particularly remarkable in the demanding automotive parts industry, providing a solid guarantee for JATCO's global capacity expansion and setting a new benchmark for quality management in the industry.

II. A Decade of Partnership: Building a Cross-Continental Collaborative Supply Network

Since the start of their cooperation, Shanghai NTN and JATCO have established a ten-year strategic partnership. From initially serving the Guangzhou production base to now simultaneously supporting overseas factories in Thailand and Mexico, their cooperation spans across Asia and America. This award not only summarizes past achievements but also paves the way for deeper collaboration in cutting-edge fields such as new energy transmissions.

III. Technological Integration: A Century of Experience + Localized Intelligent Manufacturing

As the core manufacturing base of the Japanese NTN Group in China, Shanghai NTN deeply integrates the group's century-old bearing technology accumulation with China's intelligent manufacturing trends, creating a high-quality assurance system covering the entire process of R&D, processing, and testing. Its award-winning product—the high-speed deep groove ball bearing—has reached international advanced levels in key performance indicators, becoming a model for "Made in China" to move towards "Quality Made in China."

IV. Looking to the Future: Empowering Electrification Transformation with Zero Defects

Faced with the automotive industry's accelerated evolution towards electrification and intelligentization, Shanghai NTN will continue to strengthen its technological innovation and quality control capabilities, deepen its cooperation with JATCO in new energy powertrain systems, and provide more reliable and efficient precision bearing solutions. This award is not only an honor but also a responsibility—to push global high-end manufacturing standards to a new level.
