About KFA
A Name with Japanese Roots, Built in America
At first glance, many assume Kimura Foundry is an offshore supplier. And it’s true — the Kimura name has deep roots in Japan, where our parent company has been a global pioneer in metal casting innovation for nearly 100 years.
But since 2018, Kimura Foundry America has operated independently in the U.S., with a fully equipped, state-of-the-art facility in Shelbyville, Indiana. We were founded to meet the needs of American manufacturers — faster, closer, and with no overseas barriers.
Today, we combine the technical excellence of our Japanese heritage with the speed, service, and compliance of a U.S.-based partner, delivering the best of both worlds to forward-thinking companies across the country.
Why U.S.-Based Manufacturing Matters Now
In today’s manufacturing landscape, speed, reliability, and supply chain control are no longer nice-to-haves — they’re non-negotiable. As global instability, rising tariffs, and shipping disruptions continue to impact production, more U.S. companies are looking inward, seeking partners who can deliver domestically and dependably.
That’s why onshoring and reshoring aren’t just trends — they’re strategic imperatives.
At Kimura Foundry America, we help manufacturers regain control by providing precision metal castings directly from our Indiana-based facility. No international lead times. No customs delays. No uncertainty.
Why U.S.-Based Casting Makes Sense Today:
- Avoid rising import tariffs and hidden fees
- Reduce lead times from weeks or months to days
- Protect IP and maintain quality control
- Simplify logistics with no international freight or customs paperwork
- Strengthen domestic sourcing compliance (e.g., Buy American Act, DFARS, etc.)
When you choose Kimura Foundry America, you’re not just buying castings — you’re investing in resilience, responsiveness, and a partner who understands what American manufacturers need right now.
