Manufacturing
Nova/TCB, ZYZ/TCB and our other offshore strategic partners continually update and add to their existing manufacturing capabilities. Improvements are often due to the customer’s need to expand their outsourcing efforts. With the introduction of manufacturing in our local facility, beginning in 2007, Nova can competitively take care of many products in-house that were off shored in the past. We continue to search for additional opportunities to expand our in-house manufacturing further.
In 2009 Nova/TCB saw the need to research new processes available for providing super finish quality, without the cost associated with expensive honing equipment. The decision was made to invest in a patented, and at that time new process which softens the asperities of the raw material for removal. The process makes it possible to achieve a <3µ inch finish in some conditions.
ZYZ/TCB
ZYZ was first incorporated in China in 1993. Nova TCB began purchasing from ZYZ in 2003. By 2006, the volume of business performed between ZYZ and Nova TCB ignited the need for a joint venture. In 2006, a joint venture commenced, and new facilities were constructed at the existing ZYZ site. This facility, like HTAP, has always been a full-service bearing facility utilizing an extensive range of automated equipment to produce components from the heat treat through the superfinishing processes. Some of the best technical bearing expertise in China is held at both the HTAP and ZYZ/TCB facilities.
HTAP
Nova/TCB & ZYZ/TCB combined their efforts and interests in 2010 to develop and open a roller manufacturing plant near our ZYZ/TCB plant. From the inception, the goal was to provide a fully functional roller manufacturing plant with all processes under one roof. After several years of roller manufacturing in a temporary location, Nova/TCB and ZYZ/TCB broke ground on a new facility, also very close to the ZYZ/TCB Plant. The HTAP facility opened in 2016 and has the capability to provide all necessary processes from roller heading through shipping. The rollers arrive at Nova’s facility in Tennessee where they undergo the superfinishing process and are inventoried until customer release.
