BANDAI SPIRITS to Open Bandai Hobby Center Osaka in November 2026
The plant adds a third production base to a network built around Shizuoka, and the stated reason is logistics: a western Japan site shortens the path from molding floor to export port.

BANDAI SPIRITS will establish Bandai Hobby Center Osaka, its first plastic model production plant in western Japan, in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, with operation starting in November 2026. The site has a total floor area of about 3,360.85 square meters and will hold seven multi-color molding machines. The company cites transport access and western Japan export ports as reasons for the location.
The facility takes the first floor of Block B at Mitsui Fudosan Logistics Park Sakai, at 1-171 Chikko Hachiman-cho, Sakai-ku, Sakai City. Seven multi-color molding machines will be installed there.
BANDAI SPIRITS is expanding capacity around Shizuoka, where Bandai Hobby Center holds 23 multi-color molding machines and BHCPDII runs 10 multi-color and 84 single-color machines. After the Osaka site opens, the company plans to coordinate its bases to ship products worldwide.
