Completed Haiyan Factory |
As a global supplier of injection machine, NISSEI has a management strategy of producing and delivering ideal machines from the nearest production bases to meet demands in each region. NISSEI has followed its strategical plan and established a global production system with five production bases in Japan, China, Thailand, United States, and Italy.
In China, NISSEI established their first overseas wholly owned production subsidiary NISSEI PLASTIC MACHINERY (TAICANG) CO., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as Taicang Factory) in July 2009 in Taicang City, Jiangsu Province. As the market in China grew, the Taicang Factory expanded its floor space, improved production capacity, and added the number of machine types to be produced at the factory.

FMS Line for Parts Machining |
In addition, NISSEI has been anticipating growing demands for injection molding machines in the global market, including China and Asia, from a long-term perspective and gauging its production capacity of the Taicang Factory. NISSEI PLASTIC MACHINERY (HAIYAN) CO. LTD., NISSEI’s second factory in China, was established in January 2022 and its construction had begun in order to meet these growing demands.
The purpose of the newly established Haiyan Factory is to expand production capacity in China and promote cost reductions through in-house parts machining. Two types of all-electric injection molding machine NEX Series with 294kN (30-ton) and 490kN (50-ton) clamping force are currently planned to be assembled at the Haiyan factory as well as mainly machining casting parts in house to be supplied to the Taicang Factory. Accordingly, four machine tools, an automatic transfer system, and FMS line with racks have been installed in the factory, making a 24-hour fully-automated parts machining operation possible.
The initial injection molding machine production capacity at the Haiyan Factory will be 15 units per month. The Haiyan Factory will also serve as a parts supply base to strengthen the global procurement and supply chain structures of their five production bases around the world.
