Nissha Medical Technologies Breaks Ground on Micromolding Expansion

Nissha Medical Technologies (NMT), the medical device business unit of Japan’s Nissha Co. Ltd., broke ground on a new 50,000‑square‑foot purpose‑built micromolding facility in New Richmond, Wisconsin. NMT’s capabilities in the micromolding space came from its December 2023 acquisition of medical micromolding company, Isometric Intermediate LLC.

Groundbreaking took place on May 7, 2026, with building completion targeted for April 2027. The remainder of 2027 will focus on equipment integration and scaling operations to full capacity. The new building will house a combination of relocated equipment from existing facilities alongside new machining, automation and injection molding systems, NMT said in a release. Once complete, the expansion will more than double NMT’s capacity across tool making, automation, development and injection molding.

Located approximately 45 minutes east of the medical device hub of Minneapolis–St. Paul, the New Richmond site supports collaboration with a dense network of MedTech OEMs. The facility’s intentional design will enable tighter integration of processes and maintain NMT’s vertically integrated technology model, including the close alignment between its in‑house tool shop and molding operations.

Isometric applies proprietary tooling and process technologies to achieve single micron tolerances, with the resulting components propelling the miniaturization of endoscopic and surgical devices. The company has in-house expertise in tool making, molding process controls, advanced metrology, micro 3D printing and micro-assembly automation platforms.
