NSH USA Constructing New Manufacturing Technology Center

NSH USA Corp.(formerly Simmons Machine Tool Corp.) recently purchased land and buildings in Albany, New York, for the construction of a new manufacturing technology center. The property, which is located next to NSH USA’s headquarters, will support the expansion of the company’s current manufacturing footprint and accommodate the Niles Technical Application Center (NTAC).

The company manufactures specialized and multifunction machine tools and automation systems. According to the company, the growth was necessitated by an increased collaboration with NSH USA’s partner company in Germany,Niles-Simmons Industrieanlagen GmbH, and the larger family-ownedNSH Group(Niles-Simmons-Hegenscheidt), as well as a growing demand for NSH USA’s machines and automation.

Niles-Simmons designs and manufactures precision CNC machining centers that are advanced, reliable and versatile, the company says. Housing the NTAC in the new facility enables NSH USA to work closely with customers on manufacturing process development, training and software development in industries such as aerospace, defense and railway, as well as other emerging transportation and renewable energy opportunities. The new facility will also contain a Niles-Simmons N30 MC turn-mill machining center as well as other demonstration machines from the NSH Group’s members.

“The time is right for this expansion and investment by NSH USA and the NSH Group, with the continued development of technology-oriented manufacturing in New York state’s Capital Region by a variety of stakeholders,” says David William Davis, NSH USA president and CEO. “This facility will leverage our company’s core skill sets for the benefit of an expanded set of industries and deliver world-class technical service support for Niles-Simmons customers in North America and potentially beyond.”
