President of the US subsidiary Mitsui Seiki company, Scott Walker, it is manufacturing growth in Asia, the USA, and Europe that is driving Mitsui Seiki's growth.
"The boom in commercial aviation projects in particular has fueled the demand for Mitsui's ultra-precise machines," said Walker.
"The aerospace industry is manufacturing more parts from titanium, carbon fiber, and other composite materials which are ideal for our equipment.
We have invested heavily in R and D in cutting these new materials over the last several years, and have compelling solutions that OEMs and top tier suppliers are purchasing".
Mitsui Seiki ships about 20 to 30 machines/month, and plans to increase that output to 45 to 55 machines/month after both of the expansion projects.
