Bearings specialist NSK is establishing a new production subsidiary in
China, to meet the market growth for precision components, such as
ball screws and linear guides, in China and other emerging economies.
Shenyang NSK Precision is wholly owned by NSK, and is being
established to expand NSK's precision machinery business, supplying
both the Chinese and global markets.
The subsidiary is due to start operating in April 2010. The plant
extends to 70,000m2, with an additional area for expansion of 36,000m2
(provisional). Initially it will house 600 employees - all involved in
the manufacture of NSK Precision products.
An NSK spokesperson said: "We are striving to implement global sales
expansion through active deployment to target industries and regions,
and by employing product strategies that match the requirements of
each demand area. In addition, by continuing measures to improve
productivity, such as lowering overall lead times, we will further
advance the capability of our production structure to respond quickly
and flexibly to fluctuations in demand."
