“Driving Innovation and Sustainability”

IMTEX 2025 has been a platform for technological advancements, and MMC Hardmetal India continues to lead the way with cutting-edge solutions. With a strong focus on innovation, sustainability, and expansion, the company is introducing advanced manufacturing tools while reinforcing its commitment to environmentally responsible practices.

Cutting-Edge Offerings at IMTEX 2025

MMC Hardmetal showcased a wide range of advanced cutting tools at its IMTEX booth, including high-performance turning inserts for various materials such as cast iron, steel, stainless steel, and exotic alloys. Other highlights included new drills, end mills, milling cutters, CBN inserts, and PCD products, catering to diverse manufacturing needs.

Commitment to Sustainability

With sustainability becoming a key industry focus, MMC Hardmetal is actively working towards reducing its environmental footprint. "Sustainability is the talk of the town, and we take pride in the fact that 56 per cent of our material in 2025 comes from recycled resources. Our goal is to push this figure to 80% by 2030," Prashanth emphasised. This shift aligns with the corporate philosophy of Mitsubishi Materials—‘For People, Society, and the Earth'—circulating resources for a sustainable future.

Expanding Market Presence

India's growing prominence as a global automotive hub has made it a key market for MMC Hardmetal. While automotive remains its primary focus, the company has significantly diversified into aerospace, energy, oil & gas, medical, infrastructure, and the die & mould industry. With the acquisition of Mouldino product sales rights in 2022, MMC Hardmetal has solidified its position as a leader in die and mould cutting solutions in the Indian subcontinent.

Future Growth and Expansion

Beyond technological advancements, MMC Hardmetal is strengthening its ‘Make in India' initiative. The company acquired a manufacturing unit in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar in 2016 and now exports 35% of its production to Japan, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Looking ahead, MMC Hardmetal plans to establish two additional manufacturing plants in India, reinforcing its commitment to delivering high-quality, locally manufactured solutions at competitive prices.

As MMC Hardmetal continues to innovate and expand, its focus remains on providing cutting-edge technology, sustainable solutions, and a stronger manufacturing ecosystem in India and beyond.
