Nifco Continues Its Support for the Pacific League in 2026

Nifco's Ongoing Support for the Pacific League in 2026

Nifco, headquartered in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, announced that it will persist in supporting the Pacific League through 2026. This initiative began when the company signed a sponsorship agreement in July 2025 with six teams of the Pacific League: Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, Saitama Seibu Lions, Chiba Lotte Marines, Orix Buffaloes, and Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, along with Pacific League Marketing Co., Ltd.

Nifco, which stands for Nippon Industrial Fastener Corporation, is known for its purpose of "linking small insights with technology to create a comfortable life and sustainable society." The company has been a strong partner for various industries, particularly in automotive, by delivering innovative products that transcend conventional boundaries. Inspired by the impressive performances of Pacific League teams, Nifco became an official sponsor for the league in the summer of 2025.

The thrilling moments from last season, highlighted by spectacular hits and plays, deeply resonated with Nifco. The athletes who transform small insights into game-changing moments reflect the company's spirit and commitment to innovation and excellence. As part of its ongoing partnership, Nifco's commercials will air at each of the six stadiums starting March 27, 2026. Moreover, they will continue their sponsorship role by announcing the starting pitchers.

In addition to marketing initiatives, Nifco plans to set up event booths at all six Pacific League stadiums throughout the season. Fans will be able to engage more deeply with the brand and explore the innovations Nifco brings to the market.

Here are the scheduled event dates for Nifco’s booths:
