=== Aviation industry ===
The aviation history has historically been of importance since the industrialization. During the Second World War the [[Mitsubishi A6M Zero]] fighter was constructed in Nagoya. The aviation tradition continues with [[Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation]] headquartered in the [[Nagoya Airfield]]'s terminal building in [[Komaki]]. The [[Mitsubishi Regional Jet]] (MRJ) aircraft is produced at a factory adjacent to the airport.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Kohase |first1=Yusuke |date=5 January 2015 |script-title=ja:三菱航空機、名古屋空港に本社移転 小牧南工場に隣接 |url=http://www.aviationwire.jp/archives/52967 |access-date=16 January 2015 |publisher=Aviation Wire}}</ref> The MRJ is a partnership between majority owner Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Toyota<ref>{{Cite web |title=Toyota to sink $67.2 mln in Mitsubishi passenger jet, China Economic Net, May 23, 2008 |url=http://en.ce.cn/World/biz//23/t20080523_.shtml |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090710004619/http://en.ce.cn/World/biz/ |archive-date=July 10, 2009}}</ref> with design assistance from Toyota affiliate [[Subaru Corporation]], already a manufacturer of aircraft.

=== Ceramics ===
[[Japanese pottery and porcelain]] has a long tradition due to suitable clay being available in [[Owari Province]]. Before and during the [[Edo period]] there were two main kilns in the region: [[Seto ware|Seto]] and [[Tokoname ware|Tokoname]]. In Nagoya Castle a type of ''oniwa-yaki'' (literally "garden ware") called [[Ofukei ware]] was produced by the feudal lord's court. Almost every feudal lord had his own ''oniwa-yaki'', also to have gifts made. In the town itself [[Toyoraku ware]] and [[Sasashima ware]] [[Japanese tea utensils]] were made with refined tastes. Ofukei ware started under the first Owari lord [[Tokugawa Yoshinao]] and was interrupted once, but continued on until the end of the [[Edo period]]. It became widely known in Japan. The lord's taste in ceramics was also imitated by other Owari samurai, such as [[Hirasawa Kurō]] and [[Masaki Sōzaburō]], who made their own pieces.

Toyoraku ware continued on until the [[Taishō era]] under the 8th generation. Colourful pieces and gorgeous tea utensils were highly valued. Sasashima ware also experienced its heyday during this time. Colourful and soft ceramic items such as sake and tea utensils and objects were produced and intently collected.

An early type of manufactured production was the blue-and-white [[Kawana ware]]. With the advent of industrialization during the [[Meiji era]] of the late 19th century, some export wares were produced. Industrial-scale export porcelain was made by old [[Noritake]], also ''Nagoya E-tsuke'' ({{Nihongo2|名古屋絵付}}) became popular.<ref>{{cite web |title=December 2017 Exhibitions &#124; Nagoya International Center |url=http://www.nic-nagoya.or.jp/en/e/archives/21092 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180112214810/http://www.nic-nagoya.or.jp/en/e/archives/21092 |archive-date=2018-01-12 |access-date=2017-12-18}}</ref>

Production of industrial ceramics continues to be an important economic factor with companies such as [[INAX]], [[NGK]], and [[NGK Insulators]].
