Kyocera Corporation announced that it completed a new manufacturing facility in Ganzhou City Jiangxi Province, China aimed at further strengthening the company's industrial cutting tool business in the country.

This is the fourth Kyocera manufacturing facility in China (Dongguan, Zhuhai and Shanghai), which enables fully integrated production for industrial cutting tools in the region.

The four locations give the company enhanced cooperation, capacity and flexibility to quickly meet the diversified needs of customers in China and enhance customer support as it aims to further increase sales in the region.
