Global Spirit Went Abroad

We are determined to meet the world quality standard, supported by our sense of globalism, and we also establish new fields. The pioneer spirit is alive, very vivid, and always points the way to new possibilities.

To Be a Global Enterprise with Constant Exchanges with the World

In 1878, not long after Japan opened its doors to the world, the founder of Noritake, Baron Ichizaemon Morimura established an import goods shop, "Morimura Brothers" in New York, seeking free trade. He then went on to produce ceramics and establish business bases around the world. The founder's philosophy was to be happy and prosperous together with other people around the world. Present-day Noritake as a world brand still maintains this philosophy.

Know-how Accumulated through Tableware Production Supports Our Diversification.

Noritake, besides being "one of the largest general tableware manufacturers in the world," is also "the only general manufacturer of grinding and polishing in Japan." Over a century since its foundation, Noritake has accumulated technology and know-how through tableware production, which have supported the colorful diversification of our business. Today, we have grown into a multiple corporate body that leads all the cutting-edge industries of industrial products, tabletop, electronics, ceramics and environmental engineering.
