Making a Commitment to Positive Impact

At Okuma, we're working together to build a better machine tool and a better future.

This goes beyond building machine tools with sustainable practices or machine operations that deliver eco-friendly benefits. Corporate responsibility also means harnessing a culture that empowers teammates through actions, ideas, and attitudes to create a positive impact on the communities in which we live, work, and play.

Engineered with the environment in mind

We purposefully design machine tools and technologies that help reduce CO2 emissions, energy consumption, machining time, and discharged waste – while cutting your operating expenses. Here’s how we are committed to manufacturing equipment with sustainable operating benefits:

Building a culture that reflects our character

While manufacturing machine tools is what we do, building a corporate culture and communities that improve the quality of life for others is why we do it. At Okuma, giving back to our teammates and communities is central to our values.

We believe who we are defines how we work

As a global organization, we value the strengths that are gained as 
we build a company made up of team members and their individual experiences. This creates a vibrant work environment where diversity of thought becomes an engine for new ideas that delivers value to our customers and partners.

At Okuma, we passionately pursue a customer for life. While doing so, we understand the importance in upholding transparency, integrity, and honesty when running our business. It is extremely important to us to operate ethically and responsibly to earn the trust of everyone we interact with, both internally and externally.
