Message from the President

We take pride in supporting globalization.

Our main businesses are the sales and design of electrical fittings mainly for large vessels. In other words, we provide products necessary for the wiring of marine cables required for operation as well as for various equipment work inside and outside ships. For example, the construction of cruise ships and other large vessels takes several years from the start of production to completion, and we literally work with the customer until construction is complete.

As globalization continues, the shipbuilding industry plays a role as an industry that connects the world, and our company takes pride in supporting this.

Our company changes only with a change in the mindset.

Nomula Inc. was founded by my father, and I am the third generation to serve as the company’s president. Because I used to work in the corporate planning office for many years, I promote internal reform by addressing issues that I feel are important, and we go through continuous trial and error based on the words of our second president “to maintain the status quo is to retreat.”

For example, our company is divided into teams for increasing sales and obtaining new customers, for taking measures to prevent nonconformity in logistics, and for promoting internal improvements. Each of these teams identifies issues and develops and implements specific improvement measures. We see the joy of them solving problems on their own and that the current situation changes for the better as a result of their work. I feel that my idea of valuing so-called success stories is slowly gaining traction.
This type of internal organizational reform and employee education are our top focus, and our company changes only with a change in the mindset.

Evolving from products to services, and providing inspiration.

Our strength is that we work directly with major Japanese corporations. Backed by trusted relationships developed over the years, we are able to provide site-specific consultation and listen to our customers’ concerns to solve problems, and we accumulate know-how as a result. Amid this, there are growing opportunities to propose not only products that we manufacture and sell, but also services such as system development and design, and we are beginning to explore the possibility of applying this knowledge and technology to other industries.

The shipbuilding industry is undergoing a generational change, and it is beginning to shift in a major way. We are taking this opportunity to hire people who are not afraid of failure and who work proactively with a diverse perspective. As a company, we aim to continue to evolve from products to services and provide inspiration.

Naomi Kitamura, President
