MICOR TOOLING LAUNCH THE WORLD`S GREENEST BAND SAW BLADE
Micor Tooling launch the worlds greenest band saw blade for industrial use – Langshyttan GreenCut. During the last years Micor Tooling have worked actively to decrease the environmental impact from our own production through energy efficient investment and conversion to only renewable energy.
At the same time Micor Tooling continuously work together with our suppliers to find and develop more sustainable raw materials. Micor Tooling has a long-standing cooperation with voestalpine Precision Strip GmbH and in conjunction with the launch of Uddeholm strip with heavily reduced CO2-footprint Micor Tooling is now one of the first in the world to offer a greener alternative.
Marcus Wärring, CEO Micor Tooling, comments: ” Sustainability is of outmost importance to us, and we are very proud to launch a product with significant reduced impact on the environment but with the same high performance as our standard products.”
Fredrik Berggren, Head of business Development Micor Tooling, adds: “This launch is a very exciting step for us. Daily we produce tools that helps the end user to optimize their production. Wood is a renewable material and that we now can deliver tools with reduced CO2 footprint is a natural step for the leading manufacturer of cutting tools in Northern Europe.”
The new band material from voestalpine Precision Strip GmbH together with Micor Toolings production, which only uses renewable energy, creates the opportunity to launch a band saw blade with heavily reduced environmental footprint.
