Penske Racing adds Nikon sponsorship

Nikon Metrology Inc. and Penske Racing today jointly announced a multi-year partnership agreement that makes Nikon Metrology the Official Supplier of Dimensional Metrology Products and Services to Penske Racing.

Penske Racing, known as the “New York Yankees of motorsports" with over 23 national championships, including 12 in Indy Car racing, is the standard for excellence in motorsports. In its efforts to achieve continuous improvement, Penske Racing wanted to further enhance its advanced technology and manufacturing methods and the organization followed that to the conclusion of the need for a premier Metrology provider. That search led to Nikon Metrology.

"When Penske Racing approached us, we recognized immediately the fit between two leaders in their respective fields," said Hajime Kosawa, Managing Director of Nikon Metrology, Inc. "Our North American Technology Center in Brighton, MI has extensive experience working with automotive companies, and this is a very logical extension, combining our experience and products with Penske Racing’s leadership in motorsports and its quest for continuous improvement and realized results."

Nikon Metrology is one of the largest global providers of metrology products and value-added services, with one of the widest range of products.

"To have Nikon Metrology team with us helps Penske Racing continue its winning ways and further extend our footprint by expanding the boundaries in ways to improve," said John Moloney, General Manager of Penske Technology Group. "Our commitment to putting forth the most competitive and advanced race cars possible has been improved greatly with Nikon Metrology as a partner."
