MTDCNC Visits Karcan Cutting Tools to Explore the Story Behind One of Turkey’s Leading Cutting Tool Manufacturers
By Tom Skubala
The first day of filming is complete for the MTDCNC team as Tom Skubala, Chris, and Alison begin an exclusive visit to Karcan Cutting Tools in Turkey, uncovering the story behind one of the country’s most successful precision cutting tool manufacturers.
Founded more than 30 years ago with just two employees, Karcan Cutting Tools has grown into a globally recognised manufacturer employing more than 200 people and exporting its products to over 30 countries worldwide.
Originally specialising in the production of bespoke cutting tools, the company has evolved into a major force within the global tooling industry. Today, Karcan manufactures more than one million cutting tools every year, excluding its extensive regrinding services and custom tooling solutions.
Throughout the first day, the MTDCNC team explored the company’s history, manufacturing capabilities and business philosophy. While the scale of production is impressive, it was Karcan’s commitment to the values upon which the business was founded that left the strongest impression.
Passion and family remain at the heart of the organisation. Those principles are reflected throughout the business, from employee engagement initiatives and family events to the many long-serving members of staff who have built successful careers within the company.
The visit marks the beginning of a week-long filming project that will provide manufacturers around the world with an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Karcan’s facilities, technology, culture and future ambitions.
“We’ve only scratched the surface,” said Tom Skubala of MTDCNC. “Day one has shown us how far Karcan has come over the past three decades. The company’s success has been built not only on manufacturing excellence, but also on its people and values. We’re excited to share much more throughout the week.”
MTDCNC extends its thanks to Onurcan Gezer, Çağlar Yavaş and Mehmet PERK for their outstanding hospitality and support, making the team feel welcome from the moment they arrived.
Additional content from the visit, including exclusive factory tours, interviews and technical insights, will be released across MTDCNC’s global media platforms throughout the week.
