Investigating companies that are "all over the world" but secretly doing machine tools

Some companies are well-known for their primary business, but few realize they also have a significant presence in the machine tool industry. For instance, Samsung Group is widely recognized as a mobile phone company, yet it is actually South Korea's largest multinational enterprise group. Its operations span electronics, finance, aviation, chemicals, and even heavy industries like machinery and machine tools. Similarly, many globally recognized brands have quietly expanded into the machine tool sector. Let’s take a closer look at some of them: 1. **Skoda (SKODA)** Skoda is a renowned car brand and one of Volkswagen AG's classic brands, based in Mlada Boleslav, Czech Republic. It is one of the four oldest car manufacturers in the world, founded in 1895. However, not many know that Skoda is also a major player in the machine tool industry. It is the world's largest manufacturer of trampolines and has produced over 3,000 sets of milling and boring machines. Their core products include the HCW series CNC heavy-duty floor milling and boring machines, with spindle diameters ranging from 150mm to 300mm. These machines are used in high-precision manufacturing and can handle workpieces weighing up to 400 tons. Skoda has collaborated with Chinese companies such as Deyang Dongfang and Qiqihar, but its sales in China have declined due to the rise of domestic heavy machine tool manufacturers. Today, Skoda focuses on retrofitting and upgrading old machine tools in Eastern Europe. 2. **Citizen** Citizen is a famous watch brand known for its solar-powered watches. However, it is also a top-tier machine tool manufacturer. Citizen (China) Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. produces cost-effective, high-precision automatic lathes and CNC machine tools. The company specializes in advanced CNC slitting centers and is widely used in industries such as automotive, medical equipment, and communication devices. 3. **Gree** Gree is a leading brand in the air conditioning industry in China. In 2015, the company began developing its own CNC machine tools, entering the smart equipment manufacturing field. By 2017, Gree had successfully developed its first five-axis CNC machine tool and also ventured into industrial robotics, establishing Gree Robot Co., Ltd. to develop cutting-edge robotic solutions. 4. **Wuliangye** Wuliangye is one of China's most famous liquor brands. Surprisingly, it also has a subsidiary involved in the production of precision CNC machine tools. Wuliangye established Sichuan Pushining Machine Tool Co., Ltd. in collaboration with Chengdu Ningjiang Machine Tool Co., Ltd. The company focuses on the development and manufacturing of machining equipment and has won several national awards for technological innovation. 5. **Toyota** Toyota, known worldwide for its automobiles, also has a strong presence in the machine tool industry. Toyota Industrial Machinery Co., Ltd. has been producing cylindrical grinding machines since 1956, while Toyota Koki was the first in Japan to manufacture horizontal machining centers with automatic tool changers. These technologies have helped Toyota expand into various manufacturing sectors. From these examples, it's clear that successful companies often diversify into different industries. As the saying goes, “A good soldier wants to be a general.” Perhaps, “A great company doesn’t just sell products—it builds the tools that make them possible.”
