On March 1, the parent company of Niigata Machine Techno USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Niigata Machine Techno Company, Ltd. of Japan, spun off the injection molding side of its business into a separate company. Effective immediately, Niigata Machinery Co., Ltd. is solely focused on driving new business growth of injection molding machines worldwide.
To support that growth, Niigata Machinery has made a multi-million-dollar investment in the business, starting with the construction of a brand new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. When complete, it will consolidate all aspects of Niigata’s injection molding business – from research, design and engineering, to fabrication, manufacturing and warehousing – into a single location in Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture, Japan.
“We’ve been the midst of a major growth surge for our MDS8000 all-electric injection molding machines that could not be supported by our existing facility,” said Steve Cunningham, general manager of Niigata Machine Techno USA’s Injection Molding Division.
With the single focus of the corporation, the new plant will have the technology and expertise needed to support Niigata’s strategic growth objectives for expanding beyond its current product line into larger injection molding machines from 500 tons to 1000 tons.
