Responding to demand for 5G and EV components, and food machinery

On June 30, 2021, Sodick, a manufacturer of electric discharge machines and injection molding machines, announced that it would establish a new production facility on land adjacent to its China Amoy Factory in Xiamen, China.

The new plant will manufacture electric injection molding machines and food machinery. The construction cost is estimated at approximately 1.4 billion yen. The site area is 13,753 square meters, with a building area of 12,149 square meters. Construction is scheduled for completion in June 2022.

In China, there is growing demand for high-precision parts machining, particularly for 5G-related applications and electric vehicles (EVs). Sodick has seen strong demand for its injection molding machines in this market. Additionally, the food machinery sector is also expanding.

To respond to this growth, Sodick will establish the new plant to increase its production capacity for both injection molding and food processing machinery.
