Sandvik Coromant is strengthening its leading position within the Solid Round Tools segment and continues to invest in the important US market. Following investments in a new Head office as well as a Sandvik Coromant Center in Mebane, NC, the next step in Sandvik Coromant’s growth journey is to strengthen the strategic production site in Westminster, SC, by transferring production and innovation of the important Solid Round Tools segment.

Sean Holt, President of Sandvik Coromant US: “By strengthening the Westminster site, we ensure high end production capabilities and a customer centric innovation approach. Sandvik Coromant has recently invested in a new Head office and a Sandvik Coromant Center in Mebane, North Carolina. This means that we will have two major sites within driving distance from each other where we can provide our customers and partners a fully integrated customer experience and state-of-the-art immersion into the latest technologies and machining applications.”

Sandvik Coromant has an aggressive growth strategy on the US market. Solid Round Tools is one important segment where the company intend to increase market share and strengthen its leading position.

Westminster is a state-of-the art production facility. By transferring more production of Solid Round Tools to Westminster, Sandvik Coromant enables further development of competence and innovation. Furthermore, Westminster is close to the research triangle with proximity to major customers within aerospace and automotive as well as Clemson University and other technical institutes.

The Sandvik Coromant Center in Mebane is a central hub for knowledge sharing, skills growth, R&D testing and customer projects. Using digital live machining, the Mebane center will play a key role in bringing people together both physically and virtually to advance metal cutting and digital machining around the world.

The transfer of production to Westminster will be in full operation in Q2 2022. Our new Head office is now in operation and the new Sandvik Coromant Center in Mebane will be inaugurated on the 21st of September.
