That's Us

MISUMI is a global manufacturer and distributor of industrial supply parts with a worldwide engineering and supply chain service. Products include MISUMI´s own brand as well as more than 700 partner brands, totaling 20 million components with CAD data offered on a one-stop shop basis. MISUMI offers a service that makes customer´s production material procurement process efficient by harnessing the MISUMI QCT Model, which aims to deliver high quality (Q) at low cost (C) with quick delivery times (T).

A large number of MISUMI products are configured individually. Our “everything from a single source” service concept provides our customers with time and cost benefits that make them competitive. We deliver starting from an order volume of one single piece and the following applies for more than 190,000 stock products: Order date = Date of dispatch.

We are developing a new logistics centre in several expansion stages with more than 10,000 square metres of storage space from the end of 2017 until the beginning of 2020 as planned. After completing work on the facility in the Frankfurt district of Kalbach, the product range will comprise approximately 450,000 components. The aim is to be able to process the rising number of orders in less time.

We started building a four-storey shelving system in the autumn of 2017 and completed it after almost a one-year construction period. See our project documentation at an accelerated pace.
An automated warehouse and order picking system will also be completed by March 2020.

Our roots are in Japan. The Japanese headquarters of MISUMI Europa GmbH were founded in Tokyo in 1963. MISUMI Group has been constantly expanding since then. The Japanese company quickly opened sales offices and production facilities in numerous Asian countries. The catalogue business was characteristic for MISUMI. We released our first catalogue in 1985 and our product portfolio was initially expanded gradually to include components for punching tool construction, then for injection moulding construction and ultimately for automation technology and special machine construction. The global expansion also began in the 1980s with the inauguration of the subsidiary MISUMI USA.

The merger with SURUGA SEIKI CO. LTD in 2001 as an additional production facility also increased the production capacity. Ultimately, the Japanese company also expanded to Europe with the foundation of MISUMI Europa GmbH in Frankfurt am Main. By taking over Dayton Progress Corporation, the product portfolio was also expanded to include components for punching tool construction. We had 12 million components in 2015 and our product range now amounts to more than 20 million products which we sell on our e-commerce platform.

Our constant growth also means that we require more employees to grow with us. We therefore moved to a new modern location in the St. Martin Tower in 2018 and have also increased our storage capacities with a larger logistics centre.

As an international company, we attach particular importance to respecting and showing tolerance for different cultures. We are a multinational team in Europe with employees from more than 33 different countries. This multinationality is what makes us stand out. We also have a responsibility to our employees and attach great importance to occupational safety, environmentally friendly processes and quality.

Environmental protection is considered to be a central task of company management. Our understanding of environmental protection is expressed through our environmental policy. We would like to help reduce environmental pollution and to conserve resources for future generations in our daily processes and procedures.
