Nagano Keiki will build 2 new plants for pressure sensors and pressure gauges at its site in Ueda, at a total cost of approximately ¥25 billion. Construction will begin in 2028, with operations targeted to start in spring 2030. Some functions will be transferred from existing plants to expand production.
Nagano Keiki will build 2 new plants within the site of its Maruko Plant in Ueda. Demand for pressure sensors and other products is expected to expand amid a boom in semiconductor-related investment, bringing the total investment to approximately ¥25 billion, according to reports. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2028.
The new facilities will comprise 2 plants, one for pressure sensors and the other for pressure gauges, with part of the site used for parking and a sports ground. The pressure sensor plant will use the first and second floors of a four- or five-story building as manufacturing space, transferring cleanrooms and assembly areas from existing plants and increasing production capacity to 1.5 times the previous level. The pressure gauge plant is planned as a three-story building with a total floor area of 15,000 square meters, with functions transferred from the aging Ueda Measuring Instruments Plant.
The company said it would strengthen its production systems for both pressure sensors and pressure gauges against a backdrop of growing demand from semiconductor manufacturing equipment and data centers. In its most recent results, for April-September 2026, net sales reached a record ¥37.2 billion and net income reached a record ¥3.3 billion. Full-year results for the fiscal year ending March 2027 are also expected to potentially reach a record high.
