Sumitomo aims to be a company that is able to satisfy all cutting tool customers, by globalizing and being able to respond rapidly to changes in our customers business environment and needs. In addition to material engineering technologies and product development capabilities, which they had acquired in the past, they now also strive to expand and develop business in collaboration with domestic and international sales office networks and production plants.
