NTN believes that the essence of a company is a carrier for the pursuit of happiness. It creates unique value through intelligent innovation, provides unprecedented high-quality products and services, and wins the love of users.
This love is transformed into employee happiness, and then the happiness is shared by the relevant people, which shows the true meaning of the company. If a company cannot create happiness, it loses its meaning of existence.
