About Murata Machinery

Murata Machinery, Ltd. was founded in Kyoto in 1935 and has carried its present name since 1962. Besides sheet metal machinery it makes textile machinery, machine tools, logistics and factory automation, clean FA systems and communication equipment; its sheet metal business goes back to Wiedemann's turret punch presses.

Muratec introduced the BH dual-drive and BB ball-screw press brakes in 2011; both are now sold in an Advanced Version with a 21.5-inch multi-touch operating panel. The Japanese site also lists the 3-Point press brake, which sets the bend angle on three outer points with an NC-controlled die bottom and a hydraulic cushion.

Murata Machinery's sheet metal network lists its own companies or agents across Europe and the Middle East, in Brazil, Egypt, Asia and Australia, and Murata do Brasil offers the BB and BH press brakes. The North American site of Murata Machinery USA (USA, Canada, Mexico) lists turret punch presses, combination machines and automation but no press brakes, so they are not listed for North America. The 3-Point series appears only on the Japanese site and is listed for Asia only.
