In a move set to reshape the future of manufacturing, Fictiv has officially joined the MISUMI Group Inc., a global supplier of mechanical components for the manufacturing industry. This strategic union marks a major milestone in Fictiv’s mission to simplify sourcing and accelerate innovation through digital transformation—and it promises powerful new capabilities for engineering and supply chain leaders around the world.

A First-of-Its-Kind Global Manufacturing Platform

The new partnership between Fictiv and MISUMI will deliver the world’s first truly unified platform for sourcing both custom and standard mechanical components—integrating speed, precision, and digital transparency across every phase of the manufacturing lifecycle.

By combining Fictiv’s AI-powered supply chain technology and global network of manufacturing partners with MISUMI’s robust catalog of configurable off-the-shelf components and world-class logistics infrastructure, customers will gain seamless access to over 22 manufacturing facilities and 20 logistics hubs around the world.

Empowering the Innovators of Tomorrow

Fictiv’s digital-first approach to manufacturing has already helped companies across aerospace, medical, robotics, energy, and consumer sectors bring over 35 million parts to life. Now, with MISUMI’s support, Fictiv is scaling that capability even further—offering enterprise customers more regional sourcing options, enhanced supply chain resilience, and unmatched speed from prototype to production.

The acquisition supports a shared vision for global growth, with a roadmap that includes co-developed solutions, expanded capacity, and deeper integration of AI-driven workflows. With this, both companies are committed to helping customers reduce lead times, improve transparency, and build better products—faster.

Why This Matters for Manufacturing Leaders

For decades, global supply chains have struggled under the weight of complexity, cost, and volatility. Recent years have only added pressure—from trade disruptions and geopolitical risk to evolving customer expectations for speed and customization.

This partnership directly addresses those challenges. With AI-powered automation, real-time visibility, and streamlined sourcing of custom and standard parts, engineering and procurement teams can now:

  • Build and manage complete BOMs from a single source
  • Leverage both global scale and regional flexibility
  • Accelerate time-to-market for high-precision parts
  • Reduce supplier risk and logistics complexity

Whether you’re scaling electric vehicles, surgical robotics, or energy storage systems, this new platform makes it easier to source the right part, at the right time, with the quality and cost control your team demands.

A Unified Vision for the Future

Both companies bring powerful legacies to this partnership. MISUMI has built a reputation for quality and global logistics excellence, serving over 323,000 companies worldwide. Fictiv, meanwhile, has pioneered digital manufacturing ecosystems built for flexibility, transparency, and speed.

Now, together, they are forging a new path—creating the connective tissue between design, sourcing, and production that modern manufacturing demands.
