Misumi enhances e-commerce site

Schaumburg-based Misumi USA Inc., a subsidiary of Misumi Corp. and part of Misumi Group Inc. in Tokyo that provides fixed and configurable mechanical components for machine building, motion control and factory automation systems, announced it has made significant enhancements to its 2011 e-Catalog and Web Ordering System.

The site is at http://us.misumi-ec.com.

According to Patrick Esposito, Misumi USA marketing manager, the recent changes make it easier for customers and first-time purchasers to search and find products faster, and allow them to complete the configure, quote and order process seamlessly.

“With over 1 million fixed and configurable components now available in our e-Catalog, our goal was to simplify the search and configuration process and allow users to segue directly into our Web Ordering System to request a quotation or complete a transaction right from their desktop PCs without the need for telephone calls or faxes,” Esposito said in a statement. “We feel confident that our new e-Catalog achieves these goals and will help our customers increase efficiency, thereby saving time and costs.”
