The global production of machine tools is currently worth approximately $84 billion*, supplying a diverse range of manufacturing sectors including medical, electronics, rail and defence. With machine tools vital to every manufacturer across the globe, there is ever-growing demand across the automotive and transport manufacturing industry in particular due to increased production and sales of vehicles in recent times.
