Sandvik Coromant Opens Automotive Project, Training Site

Don Schumacher Racing and Sandvik Coromant have opened a project and training site in Brownsburg, Indiana. The site will be a collaborative hub with a focus on automotive engineering projects and customized training for Sandvik Coromant customers.

Located inside NHRA’s Don Schumacher Racing headquarters, the site will be one of three major Sandvik Coromant sites in the United States. With a full-time project engineer specializing in automotive process engineering and dedicated machines, the site is intended to serve as a hub for customer engineering projects as well as basic and advanced training. Similar to the other sites in Fair Lawn, New Jersey and Schaumburg, Illinois, the new site will host general metalcutting knowledge classes, but will also focus on specialized and customized automotive training.

The opening of the new site is a considerable expansion of the long-standing partnership between Don Schumacher Racing and Sandvik Coromant. Starting out as a technical sponsorship, the relationship has evolved into a partnership focusing on improving parts and overall performance for Don Schumacher’s racing teams.

According to Sean Holt, the new site will enable Sandvik Coromant to work closer to its customers in the U.S. automotive industry. “We are confident that the location is not only a draw, but a true asset for collaborative projects with the DSR technical team, machine tool partners and our customers.”
