NIDEC MINSTER CORPORATION
From plowshares to presses,
Nidec Minster Original SignFrom its humble beginnings as a blacksmith shop, grinding plowshares and repairing oil drilling machinery, the Nidec Minster Corporation has evolved into a world class machine tool builder with service and manufacturing facilities in Minster, Ohio; Logrono, Spain; Pinghu, China; Queretaro, Mexico; Peiting, Germany; and Ningbo, China.
The company is headquartered in the West Central Ohio village of Minster at the same location where Anton Herkenhoff and Joseph Dues began a partnership more than 125 years ago. In May of 1896, the two men opened the Dues and Herkenhoff Machine Works, but by November of that same year Dues had sold his share of the partnership and Anton renamed the business “The Minster Machine Company.”
Today, we operate seven facilities across the world serving customers in almost 90 countries as a full-service press room partner for manufacturers in the metal forming industry. Whether your need is to identify an equipment solution or rely on support to keep your shop running, Minster is ready for you.
