Japanese medical devices company Nissha Medical Technologies has broken ground on a new 50,000 sq ft, purpose-built facility in New Richmond, Wisconsin, expanding its micro moulding operations to support growing demand for miniaturised, precision-moulded components. Medical Design & Outsourcing reported on the groundbreaking, which took place on 7 May 2026.

The new facility will house a combination of relocated equipment from existing sites alongside new machining, automation, and injection moulding systems. Once complete, the expansion is expected to double the company's capacity across tool making, automation, development, and injection moulding.

Nissha said the purpose-built design supports tighter integration of processes while maintaining its vertically integrated model. The company targets completion in April 2027, followed by equipment integration and operations scaling throughout the remainder of that year.

The New Richmond site is located approximately 45 minutes east of the Minneapolis-St. Paul medical device hub, enabling close collaboration with a dense network of medtech OEMs. Nissha said the location strengthens its ability to serve precision moulding customers within a major US medtech cluster.

The company expects to hire at least 25 new employees over the next several years and invest millions of dollars to support long-term growth at the site.

Justin Zubricky, VP of operations at Nissha Medical Technologies, said: "We are very excited about this expansion, as it allows us to continue supporting the growing demands of our customers by leveraging our team's skillset and technical expertise. This is the next step in our journey to push the boundaries of precision micro molding applications, and we're excited to continue growing this operation in New Richmond."

Nissha Medical Technologies is the medical devices business unit of Japan's Nissha Co., specialising in precision-moulded components for the global medtech industry.
