MOLDINO aims to lead the market in difficult-to-machine materials

August 1, 2025

MOLDINO Tool Engineering, headquartered in Sumida-ku, Tokyo, held its annual distributor briefing session “MOLDINO Vision 2025” online on June 27.

Instead of announcing monetary figures, the company presented its performance using an index with FY2019 as the baseline (100%). The result for FY2024 was 106.9%, marking a 5.3-point increase from the previous year. For FY2025, MOLDINO aims to reach 110%.

In the domestic market, orders related to the automotive sector remain unstable, and the company is hoping for a recovery. On the other hand, the weak yen has supported growth in overseas markets, with order volume increasing by approximately 25% compared to FY2019. This strong performance is expected to continue into the current fiscal year.

Starting this fiscal year, MOLDINO has introduced a new mid- to long-term vision: to become the top brand in the field of difficult-to-machine materials. President Yoshiaki Kaneko stated, “As we strengthen our cooperation within the Mitsubishi Materials Group, we have clarified the areas each company should focus on. We will leverage our technological expertise to meet the world’s advanced needs in difficult-to-machine applications and aim to become a global niche leader.”
