We’ve been working on it since 1942

Since the start in 1942 we have been driven by a determination to solve your business problems together with you. Your challenges have led to the evolution of an abundance of innovations that have changed the world.

- Solving big problems together. Since 1942.

What once began in a modest shop in Sandviken, Sweden, has over time transformed into a global industry leader. At the very core of our DNA lies a passion for engineering and pushing boundaries, always in close relation with our customers. It´s been a part of our culture since 1942, and will continue for years to come. It´s our heritage and here is where we would like to make you part of it by giving you an insight into our innovations, our timeline and those moments that together make up the heart and soul of a company.

Over the course of our 75 years a lot of exciting things have happened. We’ve launched groundbreaking products as well as other solutions for our customers. Below you will find some of the milestones that have made Sandvik Coromant what it is today.

1942 Sandvik AB decides to include cemented carbide products in its manufacturing programme. Wilhelm Haglund is appointed president of the small carbide metal division known as Sandvik Coromant.

1944 Grinding stations are set up to help customers regrind and repair their tools. A visit to these stations often results in reduced costs and increased productivity.

1954 Turning tool Gammax is developed, and scrapers become the first product with mechanically clamped “indexable inserts”.

1957 In November 1957, President Sven Wirfelt travels to the United States to demonstrate the T-Max tool holder. In the following years, no competitive designs emerge and our lead in Europe increases.

1965 In Sandviken the first Coromant School starts its five-day courses. The year also sees the launch of the Ejector drill, a product that enables a genuinely new method of drilling.

1969 Gamma Coating, or GC, is introduced. It is a material that increases the performance of inserts by making them more heat resistant. Also in 1969 the first International Metal Cutting Days take place in Sandviken.
