What TEXMAC does

TEXMAC Inc. is a North American industrial machinery distributor and systems integrator headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a West Coast office in Santa Clara, California. Founded in 1974, the company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ITOCHU Machine-Technos Corporation, itself part of the Japanese conglomerate ITOCHU Corporation (founded 1858). TEXMAC distributes and integrates precision manufacturing equipment from a portfolio of Japanese and Asian brands, including TAKAYA flying probe circuit board testers, TMT synthetic fiber winding and spinning systems, Enshu CNC machining centers, Amada/ORII stamping presses, Maxmill machining centers, Fuji Machine modular production systems, and supporting equipment from Femco, Shigiya, Horibe, TMW, FE-MOVAC, SENJO SEIKI, ACT-5, and Tsuruga Electric. In 2023, the company added an Automation & Robotics Group offering palletizing, AGVs, robotic integration, and custom manufacturing lines.\n\nThe company serves manufacturers across multiple verticals — automotive OEMs and Tier 1/Tier 2 suppliers, electronics and PCB assembly, battery manufacturing, semiconductor production, synthetic fiber production, food and beverage processing, and commercial embroidery — through a regional field sales organization that covers East Coast, West Coast, Central, and Northwest American territories. Revenue is generated through four streams: capital equipment sales (the primary stream), replacement parts and components via the TEXMACDirect e-commerce channel, professional services including in-plant consulting, system design, installation, training, and post-sale support, and equipment financing facilitated through Partners Capital Group and Manufacturers Capital. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with financing options including 0% terms, deferred payments up to 6 months, and same-day approvals to reduce purchase friction on high-ticket capital equipment.
