Future opportunities with our offering

Our vision is to become the global leader in closed loop component manufacturing solutions. As the worldwide number one in metal-cutting tools with more than 100,000 direct customers and 400,000 software licensees in our selected key manufacturing software offerings, we have a unique foundation to build on.

The manufacturing industry is going through a transformational shift with production processes increasingly automated, digital, and dependent on actionable insights from operational data. While making this shift will be essential to remain competitive, many of the industries that Sandvik services are still generally in the beginning of their digitalization journey, meaning there is a big potential to help customers of all sizes. With our world-leading cutting tools offering, unparalleled machining expertise and a growing portfolio of digital solutions and services, we improve the productivity and sustainability of our customers.

We envision the future of component manufacturing as closed loops, where a digital thread runs through the different process steps in the customers’ manufacturing value chain, seamlessly connected and automated, enabling a feedback loop, putting data to use for continuous improvement. We are building the strongest possible solutions portfolio we can in key parts of this value chain – from design and planning to preparation, production and verification.

With this approach we aim to develop solutions to help our customers as they move towards more autonomous processes over time, enabling improved efficiency, performance and reduced waste. We will do this with a flexible approach, catering to customer needs irrespective of where they are in development, leveraging a comprehensive portfolio of brand-agnostic solutions and a robust ecosystem of partners.
