Sulz am Neckar, Germany / Tokyo and Higashiosaka, Japan – BIG DAISHOWA Co., Ltd., whose core business is the manufacture and sale of tool holders for machine tools, has established BIG DAISHOWA Europe GmbH in Sulz am Neckar, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. BIG DAISHOWA is investing around EUR 15 million in the new site. The new company is positioned as the flagship logistics and sales hub for Europe and forms part of the company’s strategy to further expand and deepen its European operations.

BIG DAISHOWA Europe GmbH replaces and upgrades the Group’s previous German sales base, BIG DAISHOWA GmbH in Vöhringen, consolidating these activities at the new and significantly larger site in Sulz am Neckar. Prior to this step, the Group also renamed BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Ltd. in Zurich to BIG DAISHOWA Switzerland AG.

In addition to serving as a logistics and sales base, BIG DAISHOWA Europe GmbH will be responsible for formulating and coordinating sales strategies across the euro area and surrounding regions. In this role, the company is intended to create synergies with BIG DAISHOWA Switzerland AG and to strengthen the Group’s regional structure.

“With BIG DAISHOWA Europe GmbH, we are moving closer to our European customers: by bringing logistics and sales together at a single site, we shorten routes and strengthen local support – so that users across Europe are supplied with our precision tools faster and more reliably,” says Takuya Ichii, CSO of BIG DAISHOWA.

Through this business reorganization, BIG DAISHOWA is strengthening its support structure not only in Japan but also across Europe, ensuring sufficient inventory for rapid product supply and further reinforcing its brand presence, sales network and overall competitiveness in the European market.
