Komori Expands Japanese Factory

Yoshiharu Komori, president and CEO of Komori Corp., said the press manufacturer’s continued strong growth in worldwide market share could enable it to achieve a market share of 30 percent within five years. The company is also investing $14 million in its new international Graphic Technology Center at Tsukuba, which will provide demonstration and training facilities across the full range of presses. Production of web offset and banknote presses, previously done at the nearby Sekiyado plant, will also be relocated to the Tsukuba operation. Assembly of the Lithrone S29 and smaller format presses will remain at Komori’s Yamagata plant.
