“And we’ve seen many changes over the years. “It’s also known as the furniture capital of the world,” Medlin said. High Point has long been known as the “international city,” thanks to the large number of foreign companies that have set up U.S. “Without his vision and influence, Amada would not be manufacturing press brakes and automation in North Carolina.”ĭuring his subsequent speech, Medlin gave some perspective, not only about what the new campus means for the sheet metal fabrication business in the U.S., but also what it means to High Point and the broader Greensboro metro area. “He’s been the one with the foresight to build factories in China, Japan, and now in the U.S.,” Guerin said. The executive has spearheaded Amada’s global manufacturing strategy. and Yukihiro Fukui, CEO of Amada North America.įukui in particular gained special praise from speakers.

In 2013 the company opened a laser cutting machine manufacturing plant in Brea, Calif. addition to its existing plant in Batavia, N.Y. The opening follows another manufacturing expansion earlier in 2019, when Amada Tool America completed a 19,000-sq.-ft. The North Carolina campus has Amada’s third manufacturing facility in the U.S. Carolina Technical Center, will open in 2020. Another building on the campus, the 62,000-sq.-ft. Seventeen months after breaking ground, Amada America officially opened its 190,000-square-foot Carolina Manufacturing Center in High Point, N.C. is becoming one of the strongest, most important sheet metal fabrication markets in the world. In early December came more evidence that the U.S. Executive VP Sandy Dunbeck and Gray Construction VP Brett Goode prepare to cut the ribbon, officially opening Amada’s North Carolina manufacturing plant. Plant is designed to be able to absorb Brea demand and tool up for laser machine production.From left, Amada CMO Patrick Medlin, COO Mike Guerin, CEO Yukihiro Fukui High Point Mayor Jay Wagner High Point Economic Development Corp. Prepaint blast and cleaning booths have reclamation systems that significantly reduce waste about 95% of cleaning solution is filtered and used again. Welding cells are set up with local fume extraction and one massive 12,000-pound-capacity positioner that allows welding an entire press brake side plate within a few hours. Lights-out capability build capacity critical for future expansion and adaptation based on industry needs. In an ongoing partnership with our customers, AMADA remains steadfast in our commitment to develop new technologies that ensure maximum productivity and profitability. To fulfill that need, the first products to be manufactured at the Carolina Center are a new line of press brakes and blanking automation systems. The industry’s quick acceptance of AMADA fiber laser systems for enhanced throughput has also increased the need to remove downstream bottlenecks in materials handling and bending.
