SUMITOMO ELECTRIC Hartmetall GmbH develops and manufactures a comprehensive range of cutting tool materials, Carbide, Cermet, SUMIBORON (CBN) and SUMIDIA (PCD). Our headquarters in Willich near Düsseldorf organizes the sales, logistics, and marketing for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Our customers are guaranteed competent technical advice via our highly qualified consultants and application engineers. Our European production facilities are located in southern Germany (Lauchheim) and in the Czech Republic (Jihlava).

We are also proud to make reference to our European Design & Engineering Center (E-DEC) based in Lauchheim. We created 2,000 square meters of presentation, training, and meeting rooms to present theory-based training and practical machinery presentations. The latest technologies enable demonstrations of tools and systems in action. Workpieces can be machined, the production processes can be optimized and together the acquired expertise can be evaluated and confirmed directly on the machines in the presentation center. Our customers receive the complete solution, which they can subsequently transfer to their own production.

We consistently strive to be a company that is able to respond rapidly to changes in our customers' business environment. Enhancing our engineering technologies and product development permits us to expand our business in collaboration with our domestic and international sales office networks and production facilities.
