With the addition of these popular extrusion profiles, over 80% of Misumi’s most popular aluminum extrusions are now manufactured locally. According to Bryan Yoshimura, the company’s manager of procurement, “In the coming months, we will further expand our offering of locally produced aluminum extrusion profiles and increase the amount of accessories stocked at our local distribution center in order to reduce product lead times for our customers”.

Typical applications for aluminum extrusions include: safety guarding, enclosures, work stations, light machine bases, shutters, robotic jigs and fixtures, as well as many other applications suitable for use in a variety of industries. A representative listing of localized product with reduced shipping time includes:

* Localized aluminum extrusions cut to lengths specifiable in 0.5 mm increments are shipped next day

* Localized aluminum extrusion profiles with machining alterations now ship in 2 days (holes in specified position will ship in 6 days)

* Popular brackets, joints, nuts and other hardware are locally stocked and available to ship next day

Selection of Misumi Aluminum Extrusions and Accessories will depend on the user’s specific application requirements, taking into account such factors as: load-bearing strength, hardness, rigidity, tensile strength, finished product dimensions and desired finish.

With no minimum order requirements or set up charges on a product portfolio of more than 500,000 metric and inch mechanical components, Misumi has built its reputation as the premier global supplier of high quality factory automation components. At the heart of the Misumi business model is the unique CAD configurator and web ordering system. This unique business model offers customers an effective strategy for reducing costs and gaining competitive advantage through streamlined production and assembly processes and faster time-to-market.
