Production Technology - Tapa dura

HMT Limited was set up in 1953 in collaboration with the Oerlikon Machine Tool Works of Switzerland to produce precision centre lathes of Swiss design. From the modest beginning of a single product and a single factory, HMT has frown over the years into a giant organization consisting of several factories spread all over India, producing the worlds widest range of machine tools ranging from simple general purpose machine tools to highly sophisticated computer numerically controlled machining centres. HMT has also extended its manufacturing spectrum to include products like wrist-watches, tractors, printing machines, die-casting and plastic injection moulding machines, lamps and lamp-making machinery, dairy machinery and measuring instruments.
