Focus on Cost Reduction The long term survival of the engineering industry depends on our ability to compete with others operating from lower cost countries. Recent market demands have made us all focus on real cost reduction through increased productivity. This requires talented people with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to apply new ideas and innovations as quickly as possible. Hard Metal has therefore put in place project teams with extensive experience in the application of cutting tools and abrasives to work with you, our customers, on projects large and small - seeking better and faster ways to produce parts and maximise productivity.
