NAKANO IRON CO.,LTD.
We manufacture and sell value-added bicycle hubs
We are a dedicated bicycle hub manufacturer that has gained knowledge about bicycle hubs from our 60 years of history since our establishment. Our company strives to manufacture attractive, value-added hubs that are more useful than simply rotating on the bicycle. Around 80% of bicycle tire punctures are caused by decreased air pressure. We thought there would be fewer punctures if this decrease was resolved, so we developed an air hub that is equipped with an air pump. It continuously pumps air into a tire every time the bicycle is pedaled to prevent air pressure from lowering, while letting excess air out. This maintains optimal air pressure for the tire.
Other presentation
[Company Strengths] Our company has reached its 60th year since its founding, and we are quite familiar with bicycle hubs. We strive to manufacture attractive, value-added hubs that are more useful than simply rotating on the bicycle. [Business Description] We manufacture and sell bicycle hubs for bicycle manufacturers and shops. [Industry] Bicycle hub manufacturing [Product and Technology Strengths] Around 80% of bicycle tire punctures are caused by decreased air pressure. We thought there would be fewer punctures if this decrease was resolved, so we developed an air hub that is equipped with an air pump. It continuously pumps air into a tire every time the bicycle is pedaled to prevent air pressure from lowering, while letting excess air out. This maintains optimal air pressure for the tire. It is like always carrying around a pump. [Representative’s Message] Our company has a track record in manufacturing bicycle hubs for over 60 years, and we have full knowledge about hubs. Low-priced commodities have flooded in from overseas in recent years, and the bicycle industry is no exception. We hope to focus on value-added products rather than cheap commodities, even if they are expensive. [Company Structure for Market Cultivation and Overseas Expansion] With our air hub you will no longer need to maintain tire air pressure. This advantage is highly valued in the rental bicycle industry, and we intend to actively cultivate this field. We believe that our air hubs will be quite effective in the maintenance of bike share services, which may be adopted for the Tokyo Olympics. [Awards and Media] [Awards] The First Monozukuri (Manufacturing) Nippon Grand Award; 300 of Japan's Vibrant Monozukuri (Manufacturing) SMEs [Media] Asahi Shimbun; TBS Television, "Yume no Tobira;" Kansai Telecasting, news program; Shukan Diamond magazine; junior high school textbook (social studies); elementary school textbook (ethics) [Certificates and Licenses] We have six patented items, and five are pending.
