Nachi America

What Nachi America does

Nachi America Inc. is a wholly-owned US subsidiary of Japan's Nachi-Fujikoshi, headquartered in Greenwood, Indiana, and operating as an integrated manufacturer and distributor of industrial components and automation systems across seven divisions: Robotics, Cutting Tools, Gear Tools, Machine Tools, Bearings, Hydraulics, and Specialty Steel. The company serves enterprise customers in manufacturing, automotive, construction machinery, aerospace and power generation, and electronics, supplying precision bearings (including EXQ-V spherical roller bearings rated for the world's highest static load), drilling and broaching tools (with world-leading positions in fir-tree and helical broaching for turbine blades), hydraulic valves, pumps, and compact NSPi power units capable of up to 69% energy savings, and a robotics lineup spanning SCARA, MZ-series 6-axis, and CZ-series collaborative robots.

Its core technology is grounded in vertical integration from in-house specialty steel through finished components: specialty steel feeds bearings and cutting tools, with proprietary heat treatment and multi-layer nano coatings applied to drills, endmills, and taps. The company positions itself as an OEM supplier feeding directly into customers' end products, supported by world-scale parent-company manufacturing and the world's largest broaching-tool production site in Japan. Industrial customers value precision, longevity, and load performance under demanding conditions.

The business model is hardware sales of catalog industrial components and systems, priced on a one-time/perpetual basis through published distributor price lists. Distribution is conducted via an authorized distributor network spanning all 50 US states plus Canada, Mexico, and more than 15 Latin American and Caribbean countries, complemented by direct sales representatives, an E-Business self-service portal, English/Spanish e-learning, and presence at industry events such as Detroit Automate. Revenue mechanics are distributor-driven, with end customers across multiple heavy-industrial verticals.
