BIG KAISER Changes
Name to BIG DAISHOWA
BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Inc. is excited to share important news concerning the name of its com- pany. BIG KAISER Precision Tool- ing Inc. will change its name to BIG DAISHOWA Inc., effective January 1, 2022.
“BIG DAISHOWA is a global lead- er of tooling systems, and we have been a member of the BIG DAISHOWA group of companies for many years,”
said Jack Burley, president & COO. “The name change is a natural evolu- tion in this relationship. Being known as BIG DAISHOWA in North America will strengthen our corporate presence on a global scale.
“Our customers won’t notice any change in our business day-to-day,” Burley said. “They will receive the same superior products, personal support and performance guarantee we’ve been delivering for more than 30 years.”
The name change will not impact operations, product lines, staff, dis- tribution or licensing agreements in North America. The company will con- tinue to offer the same high-precision tool holders, cutting and boring tools, workholding, tool measurement sys- tems and accessories manufactured in Japan, Europe and the United States.
