Misumi USA Launches All-New E-Commerce Website


The new design features a crisp, clean look-and-feel, intuitive navigation, customization capabilities - and a more powerful product search engine.

August 3, 2009 (Schaumburg, IL) Misumi USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Misumi Corporation, part of Misumi Group, Inc. (Tokyo: 9962) is pleased to announce the launch of its e-commerce Website, effective immediately. The new landing page incorporates a host of user-focused enhancements designed to provide customers and prospects with a more convenient, intuitive and satisfying product search and ordering experience. The new website URL is: http://www.misumi-ec.com/eusaen/mech/.

According to Mr. Masanori Suzuki, President of Misumi USA, "The new e-commerce site design reflects our philosophy of continually striving to improve our customers' experience. We have always listened to customers in designing innovative products to meet their needs. And, although many customers have paid us compliments on our product configurator and web ordering system, we wanted to make it even better. We believe the new site will save them valuable time and make it easier than ever to do business with Misumi."

Following is a summary of the new web design's enhanced features:

o A crisp, clean visual presentation, with easy-to-find information and clear graphics, allows users to navigate the site quickly to find what they are looking for whether it's to request a quote, order products, track a shipment, seek product or technical data, or learn more about Misumi's unique business model, recent news and events.

o Powerful new search engine technology helps users locate and configure specific products and enter their orders, complete with all specifications. As before, the e-Catalog contains many thousands of mechanical components related to Factory Automation. Simplified search and a convenient shopping cart make entering orders faster and easier than ever before.

o "My Page" web page customization capabilities allow Misumi customers to customize a personal page with such items as: My Components List, Product Bookmarks and Order & Quote History, to name a few. My Page assists the user by providing a reference area that allows them to quickly proceed to the e-Catalog sections most relevant to their needs.

Misumi's easy-to-use online CAD configurator, e-Catalog and web ordering system have long been at the heart of the firm's unique business model. Customers have come to rely on these resources, where complete information on pricing, materials, configuration options, and delivery times are quickly and easily accessible. Misumi's Press Die and Plastic Mold Components customers will also benefit from the convenient new web ordering system. Moreover, Misumi imposes no minimum order requirements or set-up charges on its product portfolio of more than 500,000 metric and inch mechanical components - another of Misumi's distinct competitive advantages.
