Says Roeland Vermoere, Nidec Minster Corporation’s Belgium-based European sales director: “We provide a solution to each and every application and have experience of supplying equipment into some of the most production demanding environments. Nidec Minster Corporation supplies mechanical and servo presses, integrated coil line equipment, robotic automation equipment, integrated controls and customer service products which are all second to none.
“Our global customers produce everything, from electronics and connector components, razor blades, electrical laminations and canning products, right through to the automotive sector with complete automated lines.”
Nidec Minster Corporation started as The Minster Machine Company, established in 1896 in Minster, Ohio, USA as a blacksmith. Today the company is a subsidiary of Nidec-Shimpo Corporation of Nagaokakyo-city, Kyoto, Japan and part of the worldwide ¥1.18 trillion (£9 billion) Nidec Corporation. Press manufacture is undertaken on three continents, America, Europe and Asia.
Minster presses range from 60 to 1,600 tons and are suitable for pressworkers having demanding applications in the contract, container and electrical markets.
Kyori presses are precision, high speed presses ranging from 15 to 300 tons and operating at up to 2,400 strokes per minute. Through a preferred supplier agreement, Nidec Minster offers comprehensive feed line equipment from Formtek Maine. Nidec Minster also offers its own rugged high speed feed, die carts and cupper press feeding equipment.
The latest brand to join the Nidec Minster family is Spain’s Arisa, with the company based in Northern Spain and formed more than 70 years ago. The company is described as the ‘go to’ firm for the European automotive manufacturing sector, and its experience lies primarily in the supply of both mechanical and servo press lines to many OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers across five continents. Arisa offers a full line of large servo presses, along with progressive die mechanical presses, transfer presses and custom-designed and integrated transfers and coil line machinery.
Nidec Minster Corporation has field service personnel in 22 locations around the globe, while customer service centres that have stock of common repair parts, technical support staff and remanufacturing capabilities are located in: Minster, Ohio; Ningbo, China; Halblech, Germany; and Querétaro, Mexico.
