The Japanese manufacturing company Misumi Group Inc. has launched an American division that will provide standard, configurable, and custom fabricated parts for engineers and manufacturers, the company said today.
Launched today, Misumi Americas says it is a specification-driven global manufacturing and supply chain company that is positioned to accelerate U.S. manufacturing by combining Japanese operational precision with American digital innovation. It combined those two capabilities when its parent company, Misumi Group, in 2025 acquired Fictiv, a San Francisco-based custom manufacturing service provider.
The company is now planning to expand Misumi’s role from a trusted component supplier to a comprehensive digital manufacturing and supply chain partner. That means that engineering, procurement, and supply chain leaders will gain access to a single provider to launch their entire mechanical bill of materials (BOM), including standard, configurable, and custom mechanical parts, the company said.
Misumi Americas will target users in the sectors of factory automation, robotics, aerospace, eVTOL, satellites, medical devices, and factory automation. Those customers will gain access to a resilient global manufacturing network, with hubs in the U.S., Mexico, China, Japan, and India.
“By combining Misumi’s decades of precision and reliability with Fictiv’s AI-powered digital manufacturing platform, we’re transforming static supply chains into living, self-optimizing production systems, empowering innovators to move from design to production faster and with greater confidence,” said Dave Evans, CEO of MISUMI Americas.
