Monozukuri: Craft, Quality, and Continuous Improvement Powered by 80+ Years of NIDEC Precision

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.
