COMPANY
About Nihon Etching Co., Ltd.
BEYOND LIMITS
Since 1971, Nihon Etching has specialized in surface texturing for a wide range of materials—including plastics and metals—earning trust and recognition in Japan and abroad.
Through precision texturing, we reveal the inherent character of materials—plastics, metals, glass, and stone—and enhance their perceived value.
Texturing is often treated as a final step—just a surface finish. We believe it is a core design element that defines a product’s identity, and we advocate that value to our partners.
Design + Function, Together
- We propose optimal textures aligned with the designer’s intent.
- We design textures for function—grip, anti-glare, diffusion, stain resistance, and hiding weld lines or sink marks.
- We evolve as innovators—leveraging data and technology to shape the future.
- We proactively share our capabilities and values to lead the industry forward.
- We deliver new value through texture—so your products stand out.
