Our Position on Conflict Materials

Nihon Superior is committed to satisfying customers’ needs not only for products that are safe and reliable but for the assurance that continuous future supply has been secured by responsible procurement of raw materials.

Section 1502(*1) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which was signed into law in the United States on July 21, 2010, obliges companies with securities registered in the US to report to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) their use of products containing conflict materials from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries. We confirm now that we have taken measures to ensure that the solders that we manufacture do not include any materials sourced from conflict area of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries.
For Nihon Superior the efforts in regard to the elimination of conflict materials(*2) from their products are part of the company’s total commitment to customer satisfaction in all aspect of their use of solders.
