Environment

Reducing energy consumption is an important issue for machine tool manufacturers
Machine tools consume a lot of energy when they are manufactured and used by customers after delivery. Makino believes it has a responsibility to the environment to reduce energy consumption, which rises as sales of machine tools increase.
Development of energy-saving technologies and in-house manufacturing initiatives
Makino develops application technologies enabling customers to use machine tools more efficiently, which leads to energy savings. At the same time, we continue to improve production at our own factories to manufacture machine tools using less energy.
