Ceramic cutting tools revolutionized the automotive manufacturing industry.
In 1958 NTK started selling ceramic tools. At the time, it was common to machine cast iron brake discs using carbide tools.
Automobile production increased which led to the demand for an increased number of parts to be manufactured. Ceramic cutting tools answered the demands with efficient high-speed machining conditions. Our products have been a grerat support to the Japanese automotive parts manufacturers.
NTK is proud to support the entire global manufacturing industry today and into the future.
