Absolute Haitian To Sell, Service Niigata Machinery In US And Canada
Customers will gain access to a broader range of horizontal and vertical presses and enhanced customer support, said the company.
Niigata Machinery Co. Ltd. announced just before the Christmas holiday that it will transition sales and service of its injection molding machines in the United States and Canada to Absolute Haitian Corp., effective March 1, 2025.
Niigata Machinery has been a subsidiary of Haitian International since March 1, 2023.
The strategic move enhances product diversity, strengthens customer support, and aligns with the construction of state-of-the-art facilities in Japan to unify operations and innovation, said Absolute Haitian in the news release.
Bringing Japanese craftsmanship to global market
Founded in 2022, Niigata Machinery took over the injection molding business of Niigata Machine Techno in 2023. With backing by Haitian International, Niigata aims to deliver Japanese craftsmanship to the global market.
Haitian International is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and operates manufacturing facilities throughout the world. It is the world’s largest supplier of injection molding machinery, with a production capacity of 50,000 machines annually.
Absolute Haitian has been Haitian’s sales and service agent in the United States and Canada since 2006. During that time, it has sold approximately 4,500 Haitian presses into that market.
Absolute Haitian said it will incorporate the Niigata product line alongside its Haitian and Zhafir machines in the United States and Canada. Customers will benefit from a unified supplier, gaining access to a broader range of horizontal and vertical machines and an enhanced customer support infrastructure, the company added.
New state-of-the-art plant
This change coincides with the construction of state-of-the-art Niigata facilities in Momoyama, Japan. Niigata announced announced the project in March 2023.
At the time, PlasticsToday reported that the plant will consolidate all aspects of Niigata’s injection molding business — from research, design, and engineering to fabrication, manufacturing, and warehousing — at a single location.
Commenting on the multi-million-dollar investment at the time, Steve Cunningham, general manager of Niigata Machine Techno USA’s Injection Molding Division, said the company was in the midst of a major growth surge for its MDS8000 all-electric injection molding machines. The existing facility reportedly could not support demand for the press. “When our new facility opens in 2025, we’ll not only be able to support this growth surge, but we expect to significantly shorten lead times throughout North America so that we can get new machines out to customers on a timely basis,” said Cunningham.
