Since developing the world’s first semi-metallic cylindrical packing for steamboats in 1924 , we have grown to serve over 1,000 customers globally, becoming their trusted supplier of choice for all fluid sealing solutions.

To better support our U.S. Customers, we established Nippon Pillar Corporation of America in 1999, which transitioned to PILLAR America Inc. in July 2024.

Today, we proudly operate sales offices in Fremont, CA and a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Houston, TX.
