PennEngineering Announces Global Expansion in Japan

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PennEngineering®, the market leader in fastening solutions, announced it has expanded its global presence, launching its first PEM® location in Tokyo, Japan. The expansion reflects PennEngineering®’s commitment to the region, and its focus on providing direct access to PEM® and Haeger® products and local resources, including advanced engineering and product support.

In 2019, PennEngineering® acquired Tokyo-based Eurotec Ltd., a specialty technical reseller of clinch and sheet metal fasteners and fastener installation systems. Eurotec Ltd. has transitioned to PEM® and continues to support the Company’s growth initiatives in the automotive, automotive electronics, consumer electronics and sheet metal fabrication markets.

“As a result of the growth in the industries we serve, many with headquarters in Japan, it is important for us to strengthen our relationships and establish a permanent presence in the region. This will enable us to collaborate directly with our Japanese customers and offer the capabilities they’re looking for in a global fastening solutions partner,” shared Leonard Kiely, CEO of PennEngineering^®.

With PEM’s expansion in Japan, PennEngineering®’s global footprint now includes facilities in 17 locations around the world, including locations throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
