The San Antonio factory that makes the machines that make plastic products is close to opening a new addition that expands its Brooks factory by nearly a third.
Plastics manufacturer Nissei America, which opened the $20 million plant in 2018 as its third production facility outside of Japan, began work on the expansion a year ago and expects to open the facility in January.
The company’s investment adds more space to its plant, square footage that will be used to accommodate growth since acquiring Negri Bossi North America, a company based in Turin, Italy.
The San Antonio plant is the company’s only manufacturing facility in the U.S., said Bob Tala, manager for general administration and human resources at Nissei America. Nissei also operates service offices in 10 states.
