TSUKUBA MANUFACTURING PLANT — STILL PRESSING AHEAD

From a customer standpoint, Tsukuba itself serves as a showroom with an observation deck on the second floor for visitors. A large press demo area has also been created, along with ample training and meeting rooms.

Environmental Concern

Situated in an area that’s home to several nearby educational and research institutions, the exterior of the new plant features a sleek and environmentally friendly architectural design, complete with an entire section of solar panels as well as wind power, to generate electricity for indoor and outside lighting. Plant waste is separated into more than 20 recycling categories.
