We have embarked on a full-scale production and sales of injection molding machines since 1957. At the dawn of the plastic industry in Japan, we have developed the horizontal injection molding machines with our original technology, which led to the creation of our special-purpose machines, such as 2-color and blow molding machines, and invention of the hybrid machines. In 1960, we exported AU-1 Type, the first machine sold outside of Japan, to the United States, and our legacy continues today. In January 2006, we became the first company to achieve cumulative sales of 100,000 injection molding machines.

Plastic has become an indispensable material for modern industrial products. They are used in virtually every kind of product and can be found everywhere in our daily lives, such as IT devices, office supplies, appliances, optical instruments, medical equipments, automotives, and household goods. Although there are many ways to mold plastics, injection molding has become a mainstream method because of its suitability in manufacturing high-precision and high-quality products. It allows the raw materials to be quickly molded into a desired form (product) in a single process, and there is an advantage over making compact and light-weight products than any other materials. Plastic also excels in saving energy cost and reducing environmental loads.

Today, globalization is shaping the trends in manufacturing more than ever before. More industrial products are being manufactured in different areas in the world and distributed to enrich our lives. Nissei has been making efforts to build technologies and systems to meet the diverse needs and expectations in the industry worldwide to ensure higher reliability, safety, and environmental adaptability.

Nissei offers a total support for injection molding and has been taking an active role in researching and developing the new materials. For instance, we have invented a new high-functional composite material made from carbon nanotube and resin. This technology was developed by adopting “The Carbon Nanofiber-Based Composite Material Project,” which was conducted by METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) in Japan as an integral part of its “Focus 21 Project.” R&D of “Nanotechnology," which was conducted by MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology-Japan) as a part of its “Intellectual Cluster Creation Project,” also played an important role in this developmental process, combining with our core technologies accumulated over many years of experience as an injection molding machine manufacturer. High-performance properties (strength, conductibility, thermal conductivity, sliding property, etc.), which cannot be achieved by resins, can be added to the material, expanding its potential in many fields, such as automotive parts, electronics, office supplies, precision instruments, medical equipments, and so forth. Furthermore, Nissei has been pioneering a new century of technology by researching new materials based on wood and light-weight metal alloy for practical use as well as developing a recycling technology...

“What are our customers' needs? What do they expect from us?” Being in tune with the industrial trends, Nissei can quickly respond to customers with optimum molding solutions. We can build total injection molding systems that are the most efficient and economical in all aspects, such as materials, molds, molding method, and production systems. Our experienced engineers can assist our customers with evaluating the product and providing solutions to the manufacturing of high-quality and high-value-added products. We are also actively promoting joint R&D with our customers.
