MISUMI Group launched MISUMI Americas this week, combining MISUMI's 30 million unique products and 20.7 million configurable components with Fictiv's AI-powered custom manufacturing technology. The expansion follows MISUMI's ¥150 billion ($1 billion U.S.) global investment vision announced recently and its $350 million acquisition of Fictiv last year.
MISUMI Americas offers a unified sourcing platform where engineers can source both standard and custom mechanical parts through a single integrated digital workflow. The company delivers quotes in minutes rather than days or weeks, provides high-quality parts as soon as one day, and supports automated design-for-manufacturing feedback during the design phase to reduce production issues.
MISUMI Americas is backed by over 42 million custom parts delivered and more than 250 manufacturing facilities across the United States, Mexico, China, Japan, and India. The company provides ISO 9001:2015, AS9100, and ISO 13485 certified manufacturing with precision tolerances down to 0.0001 in. (0.00254 mm) for CNC machining, and supports industries including factory automation, robotics, aerospace, and medical devices.
