March 2021

This year marks the 25th year FISA Corporation has been selling our patented Plagate hot runner nozzles out of our US corporate headquarters in Tennessee.  While the US operation was established in 1996, our parent company, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, was established January 7, 1961.  During its early years they developed and produced a high temperature camera for X-ray analysis, a sphere-boring machine, and a series of electrostatic eliminators.  In 1974, Mr. Toshio Saito developed and patented the Plagate Hot Runner System.

FISA Corporation was awarded over 20 patents while Mr. Saito was President.  FISA was awarded the prestigious Ichimura Prize for Originality in Engineering.  FISA is also very environmentally conscience and won the award for environmental preservation from the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

FISA Corporation is now a global company operating 6 manufacturing facilities with 7 sales offices located in Japan, China, Thailand, and Tennessee.   The Tennessee office supports injection molders in many industry segments, toys, automotive, consumer goods, and electronics to name a few throughout North America, South America, and Europe with sales, manufacturing and engineering services.

I think it is important to look at our legacy to see the foundation for the present.  President Mr. Susumu Saito (3rd generation) brings the same passion as his father to lead FISA into the future.  Ms. Mari Fugate (also 3rd generation), President of the US operation, has the same vision as her father in providing the best hot runner nozzles at a competitive cost with the world class customer service.

FISA Corporation is large enough to support our customer’s demanding technical requirements with a strong emphasis in engineering and design.  We are small enough to provide the world class level of customer service that our customers have become accustomed.

If you have any hot runner needs, whether it is a multi-drop manifold system, a single drop hot runner, emergency spare parts to get your mold back in the molding machine, or spare parts for a future refurbishment please contact me and I will provide that world class service.
Until next month, stay safe and make good parts.
