Your association has come a long way since its inception and strives to address the concerns of its members. The recognition by the Government of Cutting Tool Industry as a subsector is due to persistent efforts put in by your association. This will pave the way for availing benefits to the industry.

Your association believes in engaging its members on continuous basis. Towards this a meeting of all stakeholders including members was successfully organized in Pune in November 2022 and at Bangalore in January 2023 during IMTEX which witnessed whole hearted participation. We propose to organize more such meets at different locations for the benefit of all stakeholders including organizing training programs / workshops by leading cutting tool technologists.
