Nitto Kogyo Corporation (Headquarters: Nagakute City, Aichi Prefecture; President: Toru Kurono; hereafter Nitto Kogyo) conducted 'Factory Tours' in fiscal 2025 for elementary schools in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture (four 3rd-grade classes and two 5rd-grade classes), targeting a total of 6 schools and approximately 260 students.
This initiative took place at the 'Seto Factory,' which began operations in April 2024. This factory is a state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly facility that covers 100% of its electricity with renewable energy through the installation of solar power generation systems and other means.
Nitto Kogyo will continue to aim to be a company that stays close to and walks together with local residents through educational support for the children who will lead the next generation.
### ■ Main Content of the Factory Tour
To deepen the children's understanding, the tour was structured with the following three programs.
**1. Video Viewing & Breaker Experience**
After learning about the breaker production process in advance via video, each student was given a 'skeleton specification' breaker where the internal structure is visible. While actually experiencing operations (turning it on and off), they learned about the mechanisms for safely using electricity and the role of distribution boards.
**2. Factory Tour**
They actually walked through the breaker manufacturing site and experienced the ingenuity of the workers and state-of-the-art manufacturing where numerous robots are active.
**3. Showroom Tour**
In addition to the breakers they saw in the factory, they viewed Nitto Kogyo's products used in familiar places, such as home distribution boards and charging equipment for electric vehicles.
### ■ Creation and Exhibition of 'Introduction Posters' by Students
As a conclusion to the tour, the children were asked to create an 'Introduction Poster of Nitto Kogyo' summarizing what they had learned.
