"Heritage as a Springboard for Innovation in Precision Tools"
EM - Efficient Manufacturing
|October 2025
...says Dr Dario Maria Fumagalli, President & CEO of Silmax, in conversation Kaushal Dighavkar. He outlines how Silmax blends its 200-year legacy with cutting-edge R&D, India-focused manufacturing, and sustainable practices to deliver precision tools with speed and quality.
Silmax has a 200-year legacy in precision tools. How do you balance this heritage with the need for continuous innovation in today's competitive manufacturing landscape?
>> We see heritage and innovation as parts of the same journey. Leonardo da Vinci said, “Yesterday is the father of today.” Our history teaches us what works, why it works, and where to improve. We use that learning to guide daily decisions and to shape new ideas. The result is a company that respects proven methods while staying open to new materials, coatings, geometries, and digital processes. Our teams treat every legacy insight as input for the next design, trial, or process upgrade. This balance helps us move fast without losing the quality and reliability that customers expect from a 200-year-old brand.
With production in India set to begin in 2025, what role does the Indian market play in Silmax's global operations, and how will you integrate local manufacturing with your global supply chain?
