A premium partnership

Successful machining requires both powerful machines and highly precise tool holding technology, which ensures that precision is transferred from the machine tool’s spindle right to the cutting edge. That is why the business relationship between the Haimer Group and DMG Mori has developed and been successful for many years.

With the acquisition of DMG’s Microset tool presetting technology, the Haimer Group, a family-run company with nearly 600 employees, complements its existing product portfolio. In addition to high precision toolholders in all popular interfaces and lengths, the current product offering includes a variety of shrinking and balancing machines.

Claudia Haimer, CEO of the company, explains: "Since the location of Haimer Microset GmbH with about 35 employees will remain in Bielefeld, Germany, this will be our second Haimer production site, including our main headquarters in Igenhausen, Augsburg, Germany.

“The Bielefeld facility will be further expanded to become our Northern Germany sales and marketing hub, where we will be able to present the complete process chain that surrounds the machine tool to current and prospective customers. We are looking forward to the long-term development of the new Haimer facility together with the employees in Bielefeld and an intensified partnership with DMG Mori.”

The agreement establishes an even stronger relationship between the two companies – DMG Mori will purchase all products related to tool presetting, balancing and shrinking including shrink fit holders exclusively from Haimer. All DMG Mori technology and solution centres and production plants worldwide will be equipped with Haimer products.

"We are looking forward to successful cooperation together with Haimer as a premium partner,” says Christian Thönes, CEO of DMG Mori AG. “We will present our first joint products regarding Smart Tool Management as early as the 2017 EMO show in Hannover."

The agreement additionally means that DMG Mori will continue to display Haimer Microset products during exhibitions and open houses and it will continue to distribute these products through its worldwide sales and service companies.

Andreas Haimer, managing director and president of the Haimer Group, adds: “Haimer Microset tool presetting technology complements our existing portfolio of high-precision tooling, shrinking and balancing technology perfectly, thereby making us a system provider for tool management around the machine tool.”
