Designed to serve as a hub for continuous learning, the new facility will provide customers, partners and employees with advanced training in product use, safety protocols and greater technical expertise.

Expanding its global network of centres, Sandvik Coromant’s new facility in Bangkok, located in the same building as Sandvik Coromant Thailand’s HQ, will serve as a state-of-the-art training facility for local customers.

The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art training resources, including a modern classroom, tool presetting and a projector for live demonstrations.

This capability facilitates interactive and adaptive learning experiences, leveraging global expertise and resources.

The training programmes at the facility will be led by Sandvik Coromant’s Yellow Coat experts and will cover a comprehensive range of topics, including technical skills development, industry best practices and the latest advancements in manufacturing technologies. Backed by the Sandvik Coromant Academy, the curriculum aligns with international standards, integrating cutting-edge industry trends and technologies to ensure the highest level of training quality.

The facility will officially launch its training agenda in March, with a diverse lineup of sessions and events planned throughout 2025. This includes solid round tools (SRT), aluminium machining and the basics of metal cutting technology.

The inauguration ceremony began with greetings from Michael Eneberg, Global Sales and Marketing Vice President at Sandvik Coromant and Manny Valenza, Sales Cluster Manager, South East Asia and Oceania at Sandvik Coromant.
