Heritage as a Springboard for Innovation in Precision Tools

Silmax invests in India to reduce delivery times

Dr Fumagalli’s interview, published in one of India’s most influential magazines, Efficient Manufacturing, describes how Silmax combines its two-hundred-year-old tradition with cutting-edge research and development, India-focused production and sustainable practices to provide precision tools with speed and quality.

The article highlights four pillars of the company, which in a few weeks will inaugurate its new plant in India, where Silmax India has been commercially active for more than 10 years.

1. Tradition and innovation: Silmax is founded on a 200-year history characterised by constant innovation, where, as Leonardo Da Vinci said, ‘Yesterday is the father of today’ … the experience of the past serves to guide new ideas.
2. Global-local strategy: Production in India, fully integrated with Italian processes and standards, allows for local speed and global consistency, ensuring consistent quality.
3. Advanced research and development: The use of cutting-edge technologies combined with constant and growing research and development aimed at finding increasingly high-performance tools and strategies (CAD/CAM) aimed at improving the durability, efficiency and performance of tools, adapting them to the needs of complex sectors such as aerospace and automotive.
4. Speed and customisation: Internal control of all production phases and the use of cross-functional teams allow Silmax to deliver special tools quickly without compromising efficiency or precision.
