It was just one year after the end of World War II in 1946 when a young, 22-year-old lathe operator began making bicycle parts in a small, rented space in a local town 100 miles south of Tokyo, Japan.  He manufactured his products with the only asset he owned: a used 5-horsepower manual lathe.

The young man's name is Yukio Nagano, the founder of Nagano Products Co.  Yukio still
enjoys getting his hands dirty in the tool room and tinkering with machinery.  Even after more than five decades since the company's founding, Yukio's son, Yoshitaka Nagano, continues his father's entrepreneurial spirit as the president of the company.

Today, Nagano Products Co. is one of the leading manufacturers of automotive tube fittings in the world.  The company seeks consistent high quality exceeding customer expectations, aggressively invents in state-of-the-art equipment and cutting edge production technology, and maintains a financially strong family-owned business.

We take great pride in the fact that we operate worldwide and provide top quality products to fifteen countries.  We are a growing company, but we remain faithful to our founder's original ideals and commitment to quality.
