Announcement: Recipient of the Japan Machine Tool Builders’ Association Awards “Technical Achievement Award” and “Environmental Special Award”

January 7, 2026

We are pleased to announce that the development of the coated carbide grade “MC7100 / MP7100 Series” for stainless steel turning was recognized with the award.

The Technical Achievement Award is presented in recognition of outstanding achievements by individuals or groups within a company who have made significant contributions through the development or innovative introduction of applications, products, manufacturing technologies, or management methodologies.

The main features of the MC/MP7100 series

- The latest CVD coatings found on MC7125 and MC7115 have dramatically improved abrasion resistance and increased tool life thanks to the "Super" nanotexture technology that controls the crystal orientation of the coating.

- MC7125, recommended as the first-choice grade as an all-round performer for turning stainless steels and covers a wide range of modes from continuous through to intermittent machining.

- Specialized in high-speed machining, MC7115 can reduce cycle times for medium to large-sized batches of austenitic stainless steel parts under high-speed machining conditions of 250 m/min or more.

- MP7135, a PVD coated grade that uses a tough base material is ideal for intermittent machining and therefore vastly reduces damage by the impacts caused during this type of machining. It is ideal for applications when machining forged and cast materials.

Product Features

Additionally, our company received the Environmental Special Award.

This award is presented to business establishments or initiatives that demonstrate outstanding achievements and serve as exemplary models for member companies. The selection is based on a comprehensive review and evaluation of their performance against the environmental voluntary action guidelines established by the Association.
