Prashant Sardeshmukh, Director & Vp, Mmc Hardmetal India, Explains The Radical Innovations To Have Come From His Company.
Mitsubishi has invented some radical tools in terms of technologies. Could you tell us about some of the unique technologies?
Market demand for leading-edge materials and technologies continues to grow for automotive and aircraft industries. With rapid strides in technology, we also observe a paradigm shift in customers’ approach and change in market requirements. Being globally acclaimed brand, we have to keep our loins girded to meet these requirements. In recent times we have put a major thrust on base material and coating technology. We have focused on developing all new cemented carbide substrates and fusion sigma coatings. We also undertake recycling of tungsten carbide, a rare metal and focus on the recovery of used cemented carbide tools. As regards sintered parts, we have developed them for automobile engines and transmissions.
We constantly take on challenges of technological innovation deriving from our materials technologies and endeavour to contribute to people, society and the earth through application of its unique technologies.
Considering that tool makers are large in numbers, how do you distinguish and stand out in the market?
We value relationships and are committed to deliver on our values. Our aim is to create products and technologies that distinguish us and enable us to win out in the global materials market. This propels us to become a leading corporate group. It is about caring to create value for customers.
Going forward, do you think there will be a change in the way tools are used?
