Takumi

What Takumi does

Takumi is a manufacturer of high-precision CNC machining centers and lathes, founded in 1988 and originally serving European and Asian markets. Since its 2015 acquisition by Hurco Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: HURC), Takumi has operated as a wholly-owned division headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, focused on the North American market through a 22-distributor indirect channel covering the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The product portfolio spans bridge mills (H10/H12E/H16), box-way machining centers (V10/V11/V15/V18/V22), linear guide vertical machining centers (VC0852/VC1052/VC1200/VC1500/VT500), 5-axis machining centers (U400/U600/U800/UA400/UVC600/UB2222), box-way lathes with live tooling (SL200/SL250/SL300/SL450), high-speed horizontal machining centers (HMX400/HMX500), and double-column machines (BC2116/BC3116). Machines are powered by industry-standard FANUC and Heidenhain CNC controls, with optional Renishaw Set & Inspect on-machine inspection probing — an integration in which Takumi is the first FANUC-controlled brand to offer macro-free inspection.

The company's technology stack emphasizes mechanical precision and durability: hand-scraped contact areas on 35+ components, BIG-PLUS dual-contact spindle systems for rigidity, thermally stable castings, direct-drive spindles up to 24,000 rpm, and trunnion/direct-drive-motor 5-axis architectures. Target end markets are precision-regulated verticals — aerospace, die/mold, medical device manufacturing, defense/military, and motorsports — where the company cites documented outcomes including 20+ year machine life and 100% DoD acceptance rates. The business model is exclusively indirect: quote-based hardware sales through a regional distributor network, supplemented by a 60-day test-drive program that allows qualified customers to operate machines in production before purchase, plus professional installation, commissioning, and training bundled into the sales process. The company is ISO 9001 and ANSI safety certified, with CE compliance on certain models. No standalone revenue is disclosed; the unit is reported within Hurco's consolidated financials (Q2 fiscal 2026 consolidated sales: $47.6M).
