Lyseon North America

What Lyseon North America does

Lyseon North America is the US operating arm of Lyseon KK, a privately held Japanese corporation that supplies precision metal parts and engineering services to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. The company's core offering is a Custom Made Services portfolio that spans the entire product lifecycle, from concept design, system integration, and process optimization, through CAE-based crash simulation and serial process development, into prototyping, short-run production, and mass production. Service modules are delivered alongside a broad manufacturing technology stack that includes cold stamping, hot stamping, hot forming of aluminum, aluminum and magnesium die casting, patchwork/TWB/TRB, partial hardening hot stamping, welding and assembly, carbon and glass fiber composites, and advanced joining technologies such as SPR, FDS, CFF, remote welding, ARC, and SPOT.

The firm's principal technical differentiator is the proprietary Dual Heating System, originally developed in-house, which enables hot stamping at material thicknesses of 0.5mm, 0.6mm, and 0.65mm, beyond the conventional 0.8mm threshold. This capability allows consolidation of multiple parts into single components, supporting weight, cost, and part-count reductions for structural and safety-critical automotive applications, including EV and HV programs. Lyseon markets a one-stop, physics-driven design philosophy backed by personnel drawn from OEMs and Tier 1s.

Commercially, Lyseon sells to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers via direct enterprise sales on a project-based, quote-driven model. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm operates manufacturing facilities in the US (Catoosa, Oklahoma), Spain and Portugal, partnered coverage in Germany and Poland, and headquarters plus R&D in Japan, with additional engineering capacity across the same regions. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds, revenue figures, or named customer roster, and its operating geographies span Japan, the US, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Poland.
