Nireco to Start Supplying Strip Guiding Systems for the Indian Steel and Non-Ferrous Metals Industries in Collaboration with IMS Maco Services Pvt. Ltd.

Nireco  Corporation (Head Office: Hachioji City, Tokyo; President: Shinichi Nakasugi;  hereinafter called as “Nireco”) has commenced the supply of Strip Guiding  Systems (as called as Edge/Center Position Control (EPC/CPC) systems) for the  steel and non-ferrous metals industries in India, in collaboration with IMS  Maco Services Pvt. Ltd. (hereinafter called as “IMS Maco”) who is subsidiary company  of the IMS Group in India, from early February, 2026.

This  initiative follows the same collaboration framework as Nireco’s Strip Guiding  Systems business development with IMS Systems Inc. in the North American market  and represents an expansion of cooperation with the IMS Group into the Indian  market.

Leveraging  the Strip Guiding Systems technologies and expertise cultivated over many  years, Nireco will work closely with IMS Maco to establish a localized  framework encompassing design, manufacturing, sales, and service in India. IMS  Maco will be responsible for providing products and services tailored to local  customer requirements, while Nireco will support the initiative through  technical assistance to ensure high quality and added value.

India is  a key market where production capacity in the steel and non-ferrous metals  industries continues to expand and is expected to demonstrate strong growth  going forward. Building on its long-standing partnership with the IMS  Group—globally recognized for its leadership in non-contact measurement  technologies such as radiation thickness gauges—Nireco has promoted Strip  Guiding Systems in North America through collaboration with IMS Systems Inc.  The knowledge and experience gained through these initiatives will be applied  to establish a responsive and flexible customer support structure in India.

Through  this collaboration, Nireco aims to expand the value provided to the Indian  steel and non-ferrous metals industries by contributing to stable operations,  improved product quality and yield, and reduced material loss.

Looking  ahead, Nireco will seek to expand the adoption of its Strip Guiding Systems in  India through cooperation with IMS Maco, further deepen collaboration with the  IMS Group in regions including the United States and India, and enhance the  global presence of Nireco’s Strip Guiding Systems and other products.
