Mazak: The Machine Tools Powering Sustainable Manufacturing

Mazak Europe is part of the Yamazaki Mazak Corporation, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of CNC machine tools and laser cutting machines. These machines use ultra-precise multi-axis tools to shape the components used in everything from medical devices to Formula One cars. 

But Mazak’s focus is not just on performance, it is on sustainability, with a bold goal to halve its carbon footprint by 2030.

We visit Mazak’s European headquarters in Worcester, UK to meet Engineering Manager Chris Johnson. He shares how the company is transforming its operations through it’s "Go Green" strategy. From solar power and electric vehicles to energy-efficient machines and smart factory dashboards, Mazak is reducing not only their own carbon emissions, but the carbon emissions of their customers too.
