NTN Canada was honoured to welcome the Consul-General for Japan in Toronto, Mr. Sasayama Takuya, for a tour of our bearing manufacturing facility, research lab and distribution centre in Mississauga. Consul-General Takuya and his delegation, which included Mr. Suzuki Tokiya, The Consul for Economic Affairs and Mr. Daniel Swayze, Economic and Cultural Affairs Aide at Consulate General of Japan in Toronto, were greeted by NTN's senior management staff headed by Mr. Paul Meo, the President and CEO of NTN Canada. During the tour a number of discussions about the local market situation and the position that NTN bearings occupy in Canada took place. NTN is thankful for the continuous support provided by the Japanese Consulate to develop closer ties between Japan and Canada, and to search for new ways to harness support to serve our local economy.
