From November 1, 2022, Mia Bökmark has lead the newly formed Product Management and Research & Development function at Seco Tools. She would report to Stefan Steenstrup, President Seco, and become a member of the Seco Management Group.

On November 9, 2022, Seco Tools and selected partners will host the hybrid live event, Automotive & General Engineering ITI. Machining demonstration sessions as well as expert presentations will introduce the latest solutions for automotive manufacturing and general engineering. Hosted physically in the new Innovation Hub in Erkrath near Düsseldorf, Germany, the German Auto ITI program will be streamed live online. In addition, an English stream will be available sharing highlights and interviews from the live German event.

Milling challenging materials like tough steels, stainless steels, superalloys and titanium cause built-up or notched edges and broken inserts that increase tooling costs and cause unexpected downtime.

To allow manufacturers to meet customer demand for lower part prices, the new Seco Helical SN8-13 milling system features double-sided helix inserts with eight cutting edges that significantly lower cost per edge to boost slotting, side milling and circular rough milling efficiency.

To ensure sustainability and efficient distribution operations, Seco Tools has opened a new fully automated facility in Den Hoorn, Netherlands. The new Distribution Center will service all of Europe and provide capacity for future growth while further strengthening the company’s customer support and responsiveness.

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.

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.

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

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.
