Free publication deals with all aspects of bearing procedures, including handling of bearings, mounting, maintenance and inspection, dismounting and bearing storage.
The new Fujisawa plant is a strategic element in NSK's global growth strategy and is central to the company's mid-term plan to reinforce its market presence in the bearing sector.
The plant will extend to an area of 15,000m2 and employ over 100 employees.
Production is scheduled to start in January 2008, manufacturing bearings for industrial machinery applications, such as steel equipment, machine tools, construction equipment, aircraft, robots and wind generators.
This latest substantial investment in manufacturing coincides with NSK's 90th anniversary: the company having produced bearings at its existing Fujisawa main production base since 1916.
This tradition will continue with the new plant, which will complement existing manufacturing facilities and harness the engineering expertise of the NSK Corporate Research and Development Centre and the human resources of the Kanagawa Prefecture.
