“Bringing together all company functions in one location will increase internal alignment and cross-functional collaboration,” said Sean Holt, president of sales area Americas for Sandvik Coromant. “With all departments present in Mebane, we can provide customers and partners with a fully integrated, state-of-the-art immersion into the latest technologies and machining applications. In addition, we anticipate additional synergies between the proximity of our production unit and the activity from our new Sandvik Coromant Center.”
Also, Mebane is located near the “Research Triangle” in the vicinity of North Carolina State University, Duke University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The new tech center is for training, R&D testing, customer projects, and digital live machining (DLM) capabilities. The center allows customers and partners to interact with the latest technology and digital machining techniques. Customers can also work together with Sandvik Coromant experts, including manufacturing specialists, development and process engineers, and CAM programmers to develop new ways of overcoming machining challenges.
Complete with a large auditorium, integrated showroom, and modern machine tools, the new center also features an ITAR aerospace project area. In addition, the DLM system can be used for broadcasting training and machining demonstrations, allowing for collaboration with others around the globe in real time.
Sandvik Coromant makes cutting tools for drilling, milling, threading, turning, and other manufacturing processes.
