The Meaning Behind the Name “Nozzle Network”
The company name directly reflects our business. By building a global network connecting nozzle users and manufacturers, we aim to create a synergy effect previously absent in the nozzle market. Additionally, we hope to establish a win-win relationship throughout this network, which inspired the name “Nozzle Network Co., Ltd.” My greatest pride is the unwavering support of our team members. They are forward-thinking, constantly taking on new challenges, and tirelessly working to improve their skills.
A World-First Business Model
Spray nozzles may not be well-known to the public, but they are essential components used in industries worldwide. There are many spray nozzle manufacturers across the globe. Yet the industry has limited accessibility to information, and most users are familiar with only two or three manufacturers at most. To maintain the global environment, promote industrial development, and improve quality of life, a one-stop information hub for spray nozzles is indispensable. However, such a service had never existed in the industry. Recognizing this, we sought to collect nozzle information worldwide, create a database, and make it accessible via the internet to enhance technological innovation across industries. In the spray nozzle industry, this business plan seemed like an ambitious dream, but the thought of contributing widely to society, either directly or indirectly, made it feel worthwhile. This idea led to the creation of a world-first business model: the “Spray Nozzle Global Search System,” which serves as an on-demand solution for the spray nozzle market. With support from the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, Hyogo Prefecture, and related organizations, we launched this service globally in 2003 after two years of research and development. "In addition, we developed a second version of the business model, the “Spray Nozzle Virtual Laboratory System (SVS),” and launched the service in November 2005. This system enables users to instantly search for the required nozzles in the world and even conduct spray experiments online with their desired nozzle arrangements. This helps prevent design errors and facilitates the easy configuration of effective nozzle layouts. We are now developing the third version of this system.
“Adversity is an Opportunity for Growth”
This phrase has resonated deeply with us throughout our development projects. Each day of our development tasks begins with tackling a new obstacle (challenge). When an idea emerges that overcomes these obstacles through trial and error, both our company and our expertise grow. Over the past three years, we’ve applied for numerous patents domestically and internationally, reflecting the unique technologies we’ve developed. Moving forward, rather than focusing on expanding the scale of our company, we will prioritize leveraging these technologies to contribute more meaningfully to society.
