| NHK's Suspension business was
originally a part of our Precision Spring & Components
Division. However, foreseeing the future direction
of this industry
and the dedication it would take to become the industry
leader. In the year 2000 NHK created a new and
independent
division called DDS or Disk Drive Suspensions. The
creation of DDS was made to show our commitment
to the industry
and provide the necessary resources to realize our
mission.
Being able to respond to trends
in the HDD world is key to our business. DDS is
therefore
continuously researching and developing new technologies
that will reshape and advance the industry. One
such
example of this is our original FUMA Suspension design
which today is widely adopted and used in most Suspension
designs. In addition, we boast ultra-modern manufacturing
facilities that can meet the high demands in quality,
volume and quick delivery that this highly competitive
industry demands of our customers. We are also
responding
to persistent demands for cost reductions by
seeking increased efficiency and rationalization
from ourselves and our material suppliers.
As the technology and applications
for HDD drives continue to evolve and diversify, DDS
will continue to foresee and lead the Suspension industry.
NHK will continuously develop new platforms and technologies
that will match varying needs and be able to provide
Suspension on-time to meet customer and market demands.
