Tsugami America

What Tsugami America does

Tsugami America, operated by Rem Sales, LLC, is the exclusive North American importer and distributor of Precision Tsugami machine tools — Swiss-type CNC automatic lathes, turning centers, machining centers, and multi-tasking machines used for small precision part manufacturing. The company distributes a broad product line covering 3mm to 65mm bar capacity, including B-Series, S-Series, SS-Series (sliding headstock), BW-Series (split slide), P-Series, M-Series, TMA Series, TMU Series turning centers, and VA/FMA vertical and horizontal machining centers, with proprietary technologies such as LaserSwiss (laser cutting/welding integrated with CNC turning), Oscillation Cutting, 9-axis Swiss capability, and standard thermal compensation. It serves manufacturers in medical devices, aerospace and defense, firearms and sporting goods, and contract precision machining shops across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, supported by four technical centers (Windsor CT, Fullerton CA, Fort Wayne IN, Brooklyn Park MN) and a network of regional distributors anchored by Morris Group's 18 divisions. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital equipment sales, complemented by recurring aftermarket streams: OEM and universal parts (most shipped within 24 hours), ISO 9001:2015-certified spindle rebuild services, application engineering, operator and programmer training, and Tsugami Finance financing — with go-to-market executed via exclusive regional distributors combined with direct field sales and application engineering support.
