Chiba-Ken, Japan
- this is where you will find an Asia hub of the BRUDERER Group: The epitome of
technological competence and entrepreneurial dynamic. An organisation with
innovative development and high performance overhauls and technical
possibilities, the basis of the distinctive BRUDERER mark of success.
The history of
BRUDERER Japan starts in 1965 when the first BRUDERER punching presses were
imported (BSTA 18 & BSTA 30). These first imports were handled by a Swiss
trading house called “Ueberseehandel (Kaigai Tsusho)”.
In 1972 BRUDERER
AG and Mitsui Seiki made a licensing agreement to manufacture the BSTA 18, 30 &
60 in Japan.
The licensing
agreement with Mitsui Seiki was terminated in 1981 but Mitsui Seiki continued to
manufacture the Mitsui-BRUDERER presses until mid 1990.
In 1981 BRUDERER
and Aida Engineering made a licensing agreement to manufacture the BSTA 25 & 50
and Aida built both presses until 1995 when the licensing agreement was
terminated.
On April 9th
1996, BRUDERER Presses K.K. was established with head office in Tokyo and repair
facility in Nagoya.
In early 1999,
property was purchased near Narita, Chiba prefecture and a facility for repair
and overhauls was built and completed on September 1st. The Tokyo and Nagoya
locations were closed and moved to Narita.
The new Narita
facility has been built to serve the more than 100 companies that use BRUDERER
presses in Japan. It is estimated that there are more than 1000 BRUDERER presses
still in operation in Japan (including license manufacturing). |
