As a global specialist in precision tooling systems for the metalworking industry, Big Daishowa is accelerating innovation and operational efficiency with a strategic reorganisation across its European operations. Available in the UK through technical partner Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC), the initiative includes a rebranding to Big Daishowa Europe, aligning the company with its global parent. Moving forward, there will be major investment in research, logistics and production that ITC says will benefit UK customers.
Effective immediately, the arrival of Big Daishowa Europe will mark the transition from its former name, Big Kaiser Europe. This change unifies the company’s branding worldwide, while reinforcing its industry position. Key developments of the transition include:
§ European R&D hub for innovation: The R&D centre in Ruemlang, Switzerland, will become the global centre of excellence for the Big Daishowa Group, focusing on digitalisation and automation in tooling solutions.
§ Streamlined global production: Boring tool production will transfer to Japan, optimising global supply chains, while assembly and service for European customers will remain in Switzerland.
§ Expanded European operations: By 2026, a new European headquarters and logistics centre will open in Germany, enhancing customer service and operational efficiency.
“This reorganisation ensures we continue to lead in tooling quality and innovation,” says Reto Adam, CEO at Big Daishowa Europe. “By leveraging Japan’s manufacturing expertise and Europe’s innovation capabilities, we’ll provide customers with advanced, reliable solutions tailored to their needs.”
Big Daishowa’s strengthened R&D centre will focus on pioneering digital tools, including EWE digital boring heads and EWA automatic boring heads. The restructure will enhance product innovation and service for new and existing UK customers of Tamworth-based ITC.
