A combination of green electricity and renewable energy certificates in the US and India have enabled Seco to reach its 2030 emission targets a full nine years ahead of schedule, with the added benefit of cost savings for the business.

With the value of collaboration in the pursuit of innovation in mind, Seco Tools and its partners hosted the Aerospace Inspiration Through Innovation (ITI) virtual event on December 1st. This event focused on collaborative solutions to some of aerospace manufacturing’s top challenges. Events were held throughout the globe and drew more than 1,439 registrants. With a focus on the complex issues and trends aerospace manufacturers face, ITI showcased real-life machining demonstrations and important panel conversations about digitalization and sustainability.

Inspiration Through Innovation (ITI) 2021 will illustrate the value of collaboration in aerospace manufacturing during the virtual event in North America on December 1.

As of November 2, 2021 the Polish company Fabryka Narzędzi FANAR S.A. (Fanar), a manufacturer of solid round tools, will become part of the offering from Seco. Fanar will enhance the Seco product offering in solid threading.

Seco Tools has launched a new High Feed cutter and insert series in size 14. Increase tool life and maximize the value of every edge with this new series in stainless steels, titanium, and superalloys milling applications. The High Feed Square Cut size 14 milling system is ideal for tough materials and comes in a full range of proven Seco Tools grades made to achieve fully secure, and optimized high feed milling.

Through collaborative partnerships with customers and their partners, Seco Tools monitors trends and identifies challenges, developing the knowledge required to overcome the industry’s most demanding issues.

Stefan Steenstrup has been appointed President and CEO of Seco as of October 1, 2021, succeeding Fredrik Vejgården who decided to leave Seco to start his own business.

Seco already has well-established methods for life cycle analysis of its own products and for mapping of production processes as part of its aim to reduce the company’s climate impact. The next step is to also offer to help reduce customers’ carbon footprint.

When Jan Gravningsbråten came up with an idea for how to reduce waste in the tool production process, little did he realize the potential effect it could have on the Seco business. Several years later, his idea has the ability to track ten billion tools that in turn can generate huge amount of insight into how our products are used.

In an effort to become more sustainable in its machining practices, Seco Tools has partnered with Fusion Coolant Systems (Fusion), which offers an environmentally-friendly coolant technology that can lower overall carbon footprint while increasing overall performance. Both companies have a goal to make machining easier and more effective for manufacturing leaders and engineers, while maintaining environmental awareness, making this partnership a perfect match.
