Nippon Yusoki Co., Ltd - commonly known as "NYK" - was established in 1937 and manufactured its first electric forklift truck in 1939.

Throughout the 1970 the “NYK" brand became synonymous with high quality electric forklifts. In 1990 the brand was changed to Nichiyu in order to bring it in line with the Japanese domestic market and create common international brand awareness.

The history of Nichiyu has closely paralleled the history of the electric forklift truck development and currently has Japan's only integrated development and production systems incorporating both electronics and mechanics.

As an industry leader in the development and manufacture of electric forklift trucks, Nichiyu has taken on the responsibility of producing safe, comfortable, easy to use, and environmentally friendly products designed to address customer needs well into the future.
