NEMB Overseas Capabilities
To meet increasing demand from our global customers, many of which have manufacturing facilities in the Far East, NEMB operates a wholly owned subsidiary in Shanghai, China. As a result, we can meet your Just-in-Time inventory requirements no matter where your facility is located – here in the U.S.A., Europe or in the Far East.
SNEMB, our Shanghai facility, is a 24/7/365 operation. 80 employees and 22,000 square feet of manufacturing space allow both NEMB and SNEMB to meet JIT inventory requirements, no matter where a customer's facility is located – in the United States, Europe, Asia or beyond. SNEMB is able to provide better pricing for customers in Asia, allowing them to be more competitive in the global marketplace. Plus, all manufacturing at the Shanghai facility is done to U.S. standards. This means that U.S. customers have the option of using foreign wire with most of the manufacturing at the SNEMB plant and the finishing at NEMB. Such an arrangement, when appropriate, offers customers attractive pricing options.
The two facilities are able to offer many of the same product, but their capabilities are also complementary. SNEMB is able to manufacture balls as small as .057" dia. and their open pocket process is geared to do high-volume product manufacturing while maintaining a grade 10 product by AFBMA standards. By design, SNEMB's equipment is able to manufacture sizes up to .250", larger than those of the U.S. facility. Furthermore, the single-level layout of the SNEMB facility allows for a smooth workflow and efficient product management, and the processes, abrasives and solutions adhere to US environmental standards.
Our Shanghai facility allows us to accommodate international needs, including the steel balls China requires for many of its industrial processes. Our Shanghai team of engineers is dedicated to producing the highest quality steel balls China needs to accomplish a myriad of technical assemblies and industrial projects.
