Iwaki America recently displayed at the Medical Design & Manufacturing Expo in Anaheim, CA as well as the Specialty Chemical Show in Ft. Worth, TX. These two shows demonstrate the breadth of our product lines spanning both medical device manufacturing and chemical processing. Leads from these events have been processed and send off to our distribution network for follow up.

While Iwaki America’s effort to manage our component and labor cost has led to minimal pump price increases in 2020, there are some suppliers that we have limited control over pricing. Case in point is our motor vendors who have had increases across the board last month. Purchasing a motor supplied by Iwaki America has always guaranteed that the pump & motor combination that your customer receives is the same that left our test station. We also recognize that many of our channel partners prefer to acquire their own motors and assemble them in house. In either case, the cost of the motor will be increasing as most motor manufacturers including our suppliers, Baldor and Weg, have announced price increases. This new pricing took effect on Feb 1st and can be found on our distributor website.

Iwaki America is thrilled to announce a $3,375 donation to the Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery efforts to combat the wild fires that have ravished the country. Iwaki America, our Board of Directors as well as our employees all stepped up to support our friends down under. Community involvement is a cornerstone of our mission statement and we are very proud of our efforts to help in this cause.

Our 1^st factory training of the new year will take place in Holliston, MA June 2 and 3. This session will feature our magnetic drive, motor driven metering and specialty OEM pumps. In addition to our focus on Iwaki technology we will also review markets, applications, competition and let you build a pump or two.
