The Suzhou Technical Center is located in Suzhou City (with a population of approximately 12.9 million), Jiangsu Province, located between the northern and southern ends of China, approximately 100 km from Shanghai (about 1.5 hours on the expressway from Shanghai Pudong International Airport).
Starting production in November 1995, we have established a production system of Wire EDM and Die Sinker EDM machines for the Chinese market, meeting the needs of the expanding Chinese market. In December 2025, the Suzhou Technical Center was completed following the relocation of the Suzhou Factory.
At this premise, there are four-story office building and the factory building with the reinforce foundation to produce the high precision EDM. Additionally, a high-end air conditioning system maintains a constant temperature in the work environment, enabling the production of high-precision machines that meet Sodick's stringent proprietary standards.

About Suzhou
Suzhou City is located approximately 100 km west of Shanghai and boasts a long history spanning over 2,500 years. It has long been known as a cultural capital and remains as one of the China's leading tourist destinations today. Known as the Venice of the East, Suzhou features a network of canals crisscrossing the city, with roads running alongside waterways. Between the streets and canals, the typical Suzhou landscape of small bridges, flowing water, and traditional houses unfolds. The Classical Gardens of Suzhou, that integrate architectures, landscapes, flowers, trees, sculptures, and calligraphy paintings as a unified whole, are highly acclaimed worldwide. The four great gardens—the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Lingering Garden, the Lion Grove Garden, and the Canglang Pavilion—are registered as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites.
Additionally, Suzhou has prospered since ancient times as a production center for silk and cotton textiles, serving as a hub for economic exchange through the Maritime Silk Road. Today, while inheriting this tradition, the city has developed as one of the China's leading high-tech cities, with a concentration of advanced industries centered on information technology, precision machinery, automotive components, biotechnology, and new energy. In particular, many multinational corporations have established operations in the Suzhou Industrial Park and Suzhou High-Tech District, with foreign-invested companies already numbering in the thousands. Japanese companies have also expanded broadly across sectors from manufacturing to research and development, with their numbers reaching several hundred. With its international business environment and advanced technological capabilities as a foundation, Suzhou is expected to continue to grow as a modern metropolis that combines rich culture with a comfortable living environment.
