NSK is a century-old Japanese bearing and automotive supplier with 31,500+ employees across 29 countries, including U.S. operations from Ann Arbor. The company is mid-transformation: actively adopting SAP S/4HANA, SAP IBP (Integrated Business Planning), and SAP Digital Manufacturing across finance, supply chain, and manufacturing functions. Hiring acceleration in manufacturing and engineering suggests NSK is scaling production alongside systems modernization—a pattern typical of companies exiting legacy ERP and moving toward demand-driven supply chain planning.
