To ensure their contribution to reducing climate change and negative environmental impact, Seco Tools launched the Green Investment Fund in 2012. Since then, the Green Fund has supported the investment of a diversity of sustainable projects which have reduced the environmental impact of the company’s operations.

A combination of green electricity and renewable energy certificates in the US and India have enabled Seco to reach its 2030 emission targets a full nine years ahead of schedule, with the added benefit of cost savings for the business.

As of November 2, 2021 the Polish company Fabryka Narzędzi FANAR S.A. (Fanar), a manufacturer of solid round tools, will become part of the offering from Seco. Fanar will enhance the Seco product offering in solid threading.

Seco Assistant puts the product information and tools you really need at your fingertips without the need for internet searches or catalog research, even when you are offline.

Product quality is a key performance indicator for manufacturing businesses. Many workshops believe that achieving quality-standard certifications such as ISO, NADCAP and API affirms the quality of their work. In reality, the standards do not fully focus on how to make acceptable finished workpieces, but rather concentrate on establishing procedures for rejecting bad parts

Businesses today attach the term “sustainable” to products and activities ranging from fish and furniture to energy consumption and architecture. Their stated focus is on preserving natural resources and protecting earth’s environment. In a more narrow sense, however, machining in manufacturing has always pursued a form of sustainability. Machining competitively priced, high quality products enables a manufacturer to make a profit and thereby sustain its existence as a business.

Seco Tools has announced the expansion of its Jetstream Tooling^® Integrated (JETI) technology with a complete range of holders for General ISO turning. This easy-to-use internal coolant technology increases tool life dramatically while also shortening setup and indexing times thanks to a new single-screw insert clamp design and the absence of external hoses.

Seco Tools has introduced a modular toolholder system for manufacturers seeking to improve their productivity with Swiss-style machining. The system enables fast, easy and repeatable insert indexing and tool changes outside of tight machine work envelopes. The QC Toolholders also feature Seco Jetstream Tooling^® and Jetstream Tooling^® Duo technology for optimal chip control, high-quality surface finishes and extended tool life.

Seco Tools announced today that Seco India earned AS9100D certification on January 13. This is an important milestone because it enables Seco Tools to better support the aerospace sector across India and provide customers with solutions boosting productivity profitability. The certification is the result of a collaboration between Seco Global Quality department and Seco India—the first facility within the company to receive the certification—to develop aerospace-specific quality control standards.

A machining workshop seeks to produce a certain number of parts, at a required level of quality, in the most efficient way, delivered on time. Traditionally, manufacturing businesses defined efficiency by return on investment. Success was measured in terms of continuous runs of thousands or hundreds of thousands of pieces and maintaining steady output from one or many machines was the goal. From that point of view, a machine that was running and making parts was considered efficient.
