Nissei Plastics Industrial expands US headquarters

Nissei Plastic Industrial, Japanese company headquartered in Nagano, Japan, has been strengthening its global production network. The factory expansion of its US production base in Texas, United States, is now complete, and the added building will be operational from February 2025. As a global supplier of injection moulding machines, Nissei has a management strategy of producing and delivering ideal machines from the nearest production bases to meet demands in each region. The company has followed its strategical plan and established a global production system with five production bases in Japan, China, Thailand, United States, and Italy.

Nissei’s US production subsidiary was established in November 2016 to provide large-size injection moulding machines to the North American market on a stable basis and with short delivery times. The operation of the US factory began in March 2018. To meet these regional needs, Nissei has been steadily increasing the assembly and production of large hybrid type injection moulding machines at the US factory, delivering over 200 units to the North, Central, and South American markets to date. Large injection moulding machines with 5,500kN (560 tons) to 12,800kN (1,300 tons) clamping force are currently being produced in the US factory, and Nissei has been receiving many inquiries about super large-size injection moulding machines, mainly for the automotive, housing, and construction material industries in North America. The decision to expand the US factory was made in March 2023, and the added floor will allow Nissei to assemble injection moulding machines with clamping force up to 29,400kN (3,000 tons).

With the start of the second Trump administration, all eyes are on President Trump's new tariff plans. Coincidentally, Nissei is launching the operation of the added factory building, and they consider it is a perfect timing to expand their Made in USA machine lineups, increasing their presence in the US market. In addition, Nissei America integrated production and sales functions in 2021, making their operation streamlined and efficient. It has been benefitting their customers by providing meticulous services and precisely meeting their needs.
