Brief Introduction
When HMT was founded in 1953, it dedicated itself to a clear objective: empowering the emergence of Indian Industry. With the virtue of being founded on a strong technical base, HMT donned the role of a one-of-its kind precision engineering company. HMT leveraged its technical know-how, acquired from world leaders in machine tools, to arm a wide spectrum of industries with vital manufacturing machinery and solutions. Strongly supported by excellent R&D prowess, a highly-skilled workforce and as many as nine exclusive machine tool units across the country, HMT contributed enormously to the precision engineering arena.
HMT Machine Tools’ expertise in machine tools has been honed to a point that it can design and develop any kind of machine. From simple lathes to multi-station transfer lines, from stand-along CNC machines to flexible manufacturing systems, leading to factory automation, HMT Machine Tools’ Products cover general purpose machines, special purpose machines and CNC machines to meet the application needs of every engineering industry. To date, over 100,000 machine tools on par with international standards in quality and performance, manufacture by HMT, are in use all over India. The Company also manufactures sheet fed offset printing machines in single, two, four, and five colours, programmable paper guillotines, ball screws, and CNC Control Systems.
HMT’s pioneering spirit and cutting-edge marketing abilities enable it to showcase its products and services to a worldwide clientele. The establishment of HMT (International) Limited leveraged the Company’s international trading experience. HMT(I) markets the products through a global network that extends over 40 countries to service its customers worldwide. HMT(I) has a diverse clientele with more than 18,000 machines in over 70 countries including the developed ones.
HMT Machine Tools, jointly with HMT(I) has been instrumental in executing various international turnkey projects in Algeria, Tanzania, Nigeria, Malaysia, Iraq, Mauritius, Indonesia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Iran, Maldieves, Senegal, Turkemenistan, Nepal, Zambia – to name just a few.
