Juki's Japan Headquarters Move to Tama City
December 8, 2009 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
MORRISVILLE, NC — Juki Corporation completed construction of its new headquarters and R&D facilities in Tama-shi, Tokyo. The expanded facilities combine the company’s headquarters and R&D functions to speed process development and enhance operational efficiency. Juki began construction of the two office buildings in Tama City, Tokyo in April 2008. The buildings, designed by Nihon Sekkei Inc. and constructed by Nishimatsu Construction Co. Ltd., will accommodate 800 employees from Juki and five group companies. The east building consists of the headquarters as well as the planning and sales departments. In this facility, there is a showroom for SMT pick-and-place systems. The west building, which is four stories, houses the R&D department. Juki has five R&D bases. The Juki Central Research and Development Laboratory, previously located in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, was the core base for R&D functions. Because it was located far from the headquarters, the company’s operations were becoming inefficient. As a result, Juki has set up the new office buildings as a group consisting of the headquarters, sales, and administration departments to improve development and operational efficiencies.
