Background

Nippon Electric Glass was founded in 1944 as a subsidiary of Nippon Electric Company (NEC). It was set up in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, to make glass for vacuum tubes and cathode-ray tubes. After the postwar breakup of the zaibatsu, the company separated from NEC and restarted as an independent firm in December 1949 with about 90 employees. It became a major supplier of CRT glass to Japanese electronics makers, reaching about a 57 percent domestic share by 1991. Its stock was listed on the Tokyo and Osaka exchanges in 1973. It now makes and sells specialty glass products and glassmaking machinery in Japan and abroad, with roughly 5,200 employees. Its investor statements, such as earnings releases and outlook notices, are written by the company to inform shareholders and meet disclosure rules. Readers should treat them as the company's own account: they are generally factual on financial figures but emphasize management's framing, and they are not independently reported. They carry no political orientation. The name 'Nippon Electric Glass (investor statement' appears truncated, so this profile assumes the item is a statement from the company itself.
