On February 11th 2023, our favorite bicycle handlebar manufacturer, Nitto has turned 100 years old. Running a business is insane.<\/p>\n

On this special day, we invited Mr. Yoshikawa, the current president of Nitto to Blue Lug Yoyogi Park to have a talk.<\/p>\n

Here’s all the questions we asked Mr. Yoshikawa.<\/p>\n

\u30fbHow does a company survive 100 years? and what is your special power that made the company last for a century?<\/p>\n

\u30fbWhere do all the new product ideas come from?<\/p>\n

\u30fbWhat changed the most as a company throughout the years and what stayed the same?<\/p>\n

\u30fbWere there a certain time that the company was in danger of closing down?<\/p>\n

\u30fbAre there anything or someone who changes the history of Nitto? (ex. product, person, place, material, etc…)<\/p>\n

\u30fbWhat can we expect from you for the next 100 years?<\/p>\n

All the answers were very inspiring and touching. We had an amazing time listening to his talk.<\/p>\n

Thank you all for visiting the live stream and leaving some heart warming comments in the chat, even though the stream was obviously in Japanese.<\/p>\n
