We would like to share some valuable information about the CNC lathe tool holder "Heimatec"! In this volume 3, we will introduce the 【interview advertisement article of Heimatec】. An interview advertisement article about Heimatec was published in the July 2016 issue of Monthly Production Equipment Marketing. <About Heimatec> Heimatec is a tooling manufacturer established in Germany in 1987. They have a proven track record not only with European manufacturers but also with Japanese machine tool manufacturers. Their areas of expertise include rotating tool holders for CNC lathes, angle heads, and quick change systems.

We have established a joint venture in Thailand on April 1, 2009, in response to the expansion of our overseas sales operations. We are building a local maintenance system for Japanese automotive manufacturers that have introduced Yamada Machine Tool's marking machines, and we will leverage local sales networks, such as that of Toyota Tsusho, to expand our machine tool sales primarily to Japanese companies entering the market. The joint venture that has commenced operations was established with Toyota Tsusho's local subsidiary. We have started operations with a team of five, including local hires.
