In a world where manufacturers can’t afford slowdowns, reliability isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s the core advantage. At NIDEC MACHINE TOOL AMERICA, reliability is not an outcome by chance. It’s the result of monozukuri: the Japanese, comprehensive approach to manufacturing that unites creativity with quality across design, process control, and people.

Monozukuri is how we think, how we work, and how we support our customers worldwide. It’s why gear manufacturers count on us for stable microns, higher uptime, and predictable throughput, backed by applications and service teams behind every machine.

What is Monozukuri?

Monozukuri literally means ‘making things,” but in practice it goes far deeper. It’s a culture of disciplined creativity: designing smarter, assembling with intent, and continually improving every link in the chain. It integrates:

• Design excellence: Innovating with purpose, prioritizing precision in form and function.
• Process control: Engineering repeatability into every step of manufacturing.
• People and craftsmanship: Empowering skilled teams to solve hard problems and elevate quality with pride.
• Continuous improvement: Iterating relentlessly to reduce variability and elevate performance.

At NIDEC, monozukuri is the connective tissue that ties product development, machining performance, and field support into a single, customer-focused system.

80+ Years of Momentum and Shifting Into A New Gear

We are already a global leader in machine tools, and we’re accelerating. Grounded in over 81 years of history yet driven by a tradition of entirely new thought, NIDEC is leveraging our global network to bring advances never before seen in the gear market. The result: even greater accuracy, productivity, and reliability for our customers’ most demanding applications.

From Philosophy to Performance: What Manufacturers Gain

• Stable microns: Precision that stays in tolerance, shift after shift, part after part.
• Higher uptime: Machines built to run, supported by proactive service and preventative maintenance strategies.
• Predictable throughput: Process capability you can plan around, reducing scrap, rework, and surprises.
• End-to-end support: Engineers and service teams aligned to your production goals.

This integrated approach translates directly to lower total cost of ownership and higher confidence in delivery schedules.
