Europe is recognized worldwide as the cradle of the mechanical engineering business. A majority of our most important competitors in the field of EDM machines are based here. Therefore, Sodick early saw the need for a permanent base in Europe.
In May 2004 Sodick relocated the European trading base from Frankfurt to Stuttgart and founded the Sodick Deutschland GmbH. At the same time, a new European headquarters was opened in Coventry, England.From the beginning, the Sodick Group has a global perspective in the development of our business and has grown into a group of companies with a solid presence in the global marketplace.
Currently, Sodick shares the world market in five areas – Japan, China, Asia (excluding China), America and Europe. For each of the areas, we coordinate our production and trading structure on the basis of specific market developments.
