MHI Continues to Grow as a Leading Manufacturer of Gear Cutting Machines
History of MHI Gear Machine Tools over 50 Years

MHI entered the gear cutting machine business in March 1962 with a gear hobbing machine featuring technology from Germany. In its 50 years of operation in this field, the company has consistently led the industry with diverse gear cutting machines and cutting tools offering high performance and accuracy while simultaneously addressing global environmental issues, and in the process MHI has established one of the world’s top positions in terms of delivery track record. In 1999 the company’s dry cutting gear production system – the first of its kind to use no cutting fluid – was awarded a prize by the (then) Ministry of International Trade and Industry for its excellent contribution to energy-saving machining.
