Disaster Relief

Provides medical suctioning devices “QTUM” and medical masks: The NITTO KOHKI Group carries out disaster relief. During power outages caused by earthquakes, we provided the medical suctioning device “QTUM” to medical institutions and other organizations upon receiving requests from them. In addition, during the COVID-19, we provided medical masks in our possession to university hospitals, medical institutions, and local governments of the municipalities where our plants are located. We also donated QTUM medical suctioning devices to medical institutions and other organizations.

Personnel Training

Sponsor publication of teaching occupations for children: To let children—who will play vital roles in the future—know the fun of manufacturing, we sponsor the publication of Oshigoto Nenkan (Occupations Yearkbook) by The Asahi Shimbun Company.
