MAPAL at EMO 2025

75 Years of MAPAL – Shaping the Future with Partnership, Productivity and Precision

#Company #Technology

The EMO is the perfect platform for MAPAL to showcase new solutions, nurture ties and establish partnerships. Personal interaction with existing and new customers at trade fairs is a key part of the precision tool manufacturer’s company philosophy and remains firmly rooted in its marketing strategy. “The EMO is not just a trade fair for us – it plays a key role in our customer relationships and is the venue where we unveil our product innovations for the coming year”, explains Jacek Kruszynski, Chief Technology Officer at MAPAL. 

MAPAL is presenting its latest solutions and innovations at stand A20 in Hall 4. Both MAPAL and the EMO are celebrating milestone anniversaries this year, with MAPAL turning 75 and the EMO turning 50.
 

Enhancing productivity in customer processes is the guiding principle of the trade fair appearance and 2026 innovations

MAPAL is a holistic solutions provider. Customers are supported throughout the entire process chain – from turnkey solutions with process and tool design, to technical support during production, not to mention tool management and digital services. The aim is to systematically enhance productivity in customer processes. This is also the premise behind the 2026 innovations in the areas of reaming, fine boring, boring, milling, clamping and setting. Highlights among the new products include the OptiMill-Uni-HPC and HPR400 technology-based solutions.

OptiMill-Uni-HPC: New standards in process reliability for milling

With the third-generation OptiMill-Uni-HPC, MAPAL is launching a solid carbide milling cutter specially designed for automated manufacturing processes. A newly developed cutting material, wear-resistant coating and a variant with an integrated chip breaker ensure maximum process reliability, a high removal rate and long machine running times – ideal for unmanned shifts and robot-assisted machining. The new generation is available in three variants and covers a wide range of applications in steel, stainless-steel and cast-iron machining.

Productivity gains when machining large diameters with the HPR400 reaming system

MAPAL’s HPR400 reaming system offers a variety of advantages in terms of machining speed, ease of handling and flexibility for machining large diameters. MAPAL is showcasing several new solutions at the EMO in order to enhance productivity in series production.

The combination tool with the ISO leading stage and HPR400 system is an innovative one-shot solution for finish machining with high material removal. It enables bores to be made with up to 6 mm of stock removal in a single working step, thus ensuring minimum cycle times.
The HPR400 plus series was specifically developed for machining face grooves. The new tool concept significantly improves the cost effectiveness of machining bores with special base contours.

Together with a new tool solution for finishing stator bores in electric motors, the newly developed solutions are very good examples of how cost-effectiveness in machining can be increased even when there are complex requirements.

“Empower Your Aluminium Machining”

Another focus of the 2025 trade fair appearance is aluminium machining. MAPAL has chosen the motto “Empower Your Aluminium Machining” to underline the fact that smart tool solutions make maximum precision, process reliability and cost-effectiveness possible when machining aluminium components. MAPAL has decades of materials expertise in the area of aluminium and offers a wide range of high-performance tools for highly productive processes.

75 years of MAPAL: From a small tool manufacturer to global manufacturing expert

The MAPAL Group celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. Since it was founded in 1950, the company has grown from a small tool manufacturer to a global supplier of precision tools and manufacturing solutions. Today, MAPAL employs around 4,850 staff and has production sites, sales offices and representatives in 44 countries. The company supplies leading customers from the automotive and aerospace industry, machine and plant engineering, and the die and mould sector. The focus for the anniversary year as well as the future is on digitalisation, enhancing productivity and sustainable manufacturing.
