At JTEKT North America, innovation isn’t just a buzzword; it’s an invitation. An invitation to businesses facing their toughest challenges. When it comes to solving the problems that seem unsolvable, JTEKT isn’t shy about one thing: we’re actively “looking for trouble.” Not the kind of trouble that comes with poor management or a lack of resources, but the kind that arises when businesses face complex, high-stakes product design and manufacturing problems that impact their bottom line. These are the problems that keep executives awake at night—the costly, seemingly impossible challenges that no one else has engineered a solution for.
But here’s the twist: JTEKT is not a contract consulting firm. Our approach isn’t based on offering ideas that remain stuck on the whiteboard or handing off a report full of recommendations. “Looking for trouble” means actively seeking out businesses that need solutions—not just theoretical ones, but tangible products that solve those headaches, at competitive prices. We’re about designing, testing and delivering answers, with world-class manufacturing precision.
Experience in the Driver’s Seat
We understand that innovation doesn’t happen by following a one-size-fits-all formula. Instead, we bring together decades of engineering know-how and extensive in-house capabilities with an agile approach to product development, leveraging the latest advancements in materials, technology, and manufacturing processes. And it’s precisely this focus on problem-solving that has set JTEKT apart as a leading innovator and tier 1 supplier in the global automotive, industrial, and aerospace industries. Our products don’t just meet these sectors’ notoriously strict specifications; they exceed them, offering solutions that anticipate future demands for better performance, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.
