NOK and Jubilo Iwata Expand Partnership for Community Support

NOK Corporation, headquartered in Minato City, Tokyo, has announced the renewal of its sponsorship agreement with Jubilo Iwata, a prominent football club based in Iwata City, Shizuoka Prefecture. This marks the third consecutive year of collaboration, confirming that NOK’s logo will continue to be displayed on the LED advertising boards at Yamaha Stadium during the upcoming 2026/27 season.

With two facilities operating in Shizuoka, including its Shizuoka plant, NOK has a long-history of engaging in manufacturing alongside the local community. As part of its ongoing efforts to improve regional connections, NOK recently established NOK Shizuoka Corporation on April 1, 2026, following a reorganization of its production companies. This move reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting and enhancing local entities in Shizuoka Prefecture.

In line with its community initiatives, NOK is extending its collaboration with Jubilo Iwata and the city of Omaezaki to continue promoting the conservation of endangered sea turtles. The firm has been actively involved in turtle protection efforts, which align with its ethos of social responsibility. In the upcoming season, NOK will not only support Jubilo Iwata but also engage in local activities aimed at the preservation of sea turtles, marking a significant contribution to environmental conservation in the region.

In addition to these conservation efforts, NOK has also partnered in Jubilo Iwata’s first-ever summer training camp held in Omaezaki City from July 17 to July 26, 2026. This camp is aimed at enhancing the player’s skills while promoting the local community as a hub for sports activities. The partnership adds yet another layer to NOK's involvement in supporting sports initiatives that inspire and uplift local residents.

NOK remains dedicated to contributing to the community through various initiatives that focus on promoting sports and environmental sustainability. Their ongoing sponsorship of Jubilo Iwata not only reflects their commitment to football in Japan but also highlights the company's role in the socio-economic development of Shizuoka Prefecture.
