Nichirin Inc.
Chairperson/Executive Member at Large
Terry Smithers
Established 1987
The main work done at Nichirin is assembling fittings, brackets, eyejoints to hoses. They are then sent to Honda, Harley and G.M. to be used for brake and powersteering in the automotive and motorcycle industries. Honda is our biggest customer with 85% of our business. We are a Japanese owned company with 3 other factories in North America. At the peak of our operation we employed over 200 members but because of the economic downturn the company had to lay off over 75% of our members. We have also experienced our jobs going to our sister company in Tennessee, because of lower wages and no benefits.

We will say goodbye to Kath Blackett due to retirement, we wish her well.
