Citizen Machinery expands its European operations with new bases in the UK and Italy

September 20, 2017

On September 20, 2017, Citizen Machinery announced that it will expand its sales operations in Europe to strengthen its presence in the market and boost sales.

In October 2018, the company will establish a new sales office in Birmingham, United Kingdom, with an investment of approximately 280 million yen. Birmingham, known as an industrial hub, has a growing automotive and aerospace industry. Until now, the company had only maintained a satellite office in the city. However, due to rising demand, it has decided to open a full-scale base.

The new facility will include a showroom with 10 actual machines on display and will provide services such as test cutting. The number of engineers will also be increased to enhance customer support.

In addition, in March 2018, Citizen Machinery will relocate and expand its headquarters in Bergamo, northern Italy. The company reports that its sales in Italy doubled in 2016 compared to 2013.

The new Italian headquarters will be twice the size of the current one and will include newly built showrooms and warehouses. The company also plans to enhance its service functions to meet growing local demand.
