Specialist auto parts maker geared up for the future of mobility

"We are eager to open our doors and export to companies all over the world."

Yoshihiro Kawakami, President, Johoku Industrial Co., Ltd.

Since its foundation in 1918, Johoku Industrial has been one the most trusted manufacturing partners for Japan's motorcycle and wider automotive industry. Of the company's production volume, 70% is for motorcycles - its main products being cast wheels and spoke wheels among others - with the remaining 30% for automobiles, where an increasing proportion of this is focused on technologies considered the future of mobility, including parts for the fuel cell vehicle (FCV) and electric vehicle (EV) markets.

"Our motorcycle production volume is three times smaller than it was 20 years ago," says Yoshihiro Kawakami, President of Johoku Industrial. "But our manufacturing costs have remained the same or less thanks to the strengths of our value production kaizen [continuous business improvement] and manufacturing philosophy."

Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie

PARIS HILTON AND NICOLE RICHIE ARE READY TO BRING A LITTLE “SANASA” to the world with Peacock's Paris & Nicole: The Encore, their first project together since their reality show The Simple Life ended in 2007. What's “sanasa”? It's a song and phrase the longtime friends created as kids and popularized on The Simple Life. The show, a cultural phenomenon in the early days of reality TV, followed them over a series of blue-collar jobs. Now they're bringing it back as an opera. “I know this is just going to make people laugh, have fun, be nostalgic and just celebrate our friendship,” Hilton said. While Richie acknowledged “you can't do Simple Life again,” she said now “felt like the right time.” The famous pair also revisit some old jobs in Arkansas, like fast-food chain Sonic, where they now have drinks named for them. “I think that there is a part of our friend- ship that the show ended up showing that people connect to,” Richie said. As for this new special, Hilton is glad to do something positive for their fans. “It's been such a crazy past couple years, and I just feel like the world needs more joy.”
