The Porite Group in brief
One of the world leaders in the manufacturing of sintered mechanical parts.
Founded in 1952 in Japan, the company quickly focused its efforts on the production of self-lubricating micro-bearings. With a strong research and development department and numerous patents, it became the global leader in this field, primarily serving manufacturers of electric motors and other users of micro-bearings.
The opening of the Taiwan factory in 1968 marked a strategic turning point, with the introduction of sintered mechanical parts manufacturing for the automotive industry. This site also became the first to focus on exports, with Europe as the primary market, accounting for 80% of its revenue.
In 1994, the establishment of the Yangzhou plant in China was an important step toward the development of the domestic Chinese market. This site is recognized for its ability to support project teams from automotive suppliers and manufacturers, particularly in the development of sintered mechanical parts.
Over time, the automotive sector became a key growth area for the group, while maintaining a diversification strategy into various sectors such as power tools, micro-motors, household appliances, and mechanical engineering.
In 1993, Porite Taiwan expanded its operations into Europe with the opening of its subsidiary, Porite Europe, located in the Paris region. This entity became the main interface for the French and European markets.
Porite Group has established itself as one of the global leaders in the manufacturing of sintered mechanical parts and holds the position of the world’s number one producer of self-lubricating micro-bearings, with inner diameters ranging from 0.6mm to 3/4mm, primarily for micro electric motors and other similar applications.
The Taiwan facility remains the flagship site for the development of sintered mechanical parts, MIM (Metal Injection Molding), 3D printing, and, more recently, metal foam technologies.
