A UK journalist hasn’t been invited to Seco’s production facilities in Sweden for over 15 years. Machinery accepted the invitation. With a turnover in 2006 of €600 million, Seco Tools AB is the world’s fourth largest cutting tool group, employing some 4,300 people globally.
Inserts remain the heartbeat of Seco, accounting for two-thirds of the company’s revenue. Insert production, along with the majority of Seco’s research and development takes place at the company’s principal site at Fagersta, some 150 km northwest of Stockholm.
