Allied Machine & Engineering Corporation, Dover OH, announced at the recent AMB exhibition in Stuttgart that it has acquired a majority of the shares of Wohlhaupter GmbH of Frickenhausen, Germany, Wohlhaupter USA, and Wohlhaupter India.
Wohlhaupter is known all over the world as a manufacturer of innovative, modular tool systems for machining centres and mill-turns, facing and boring heads, grooving heads, clamping tools and customised solutions for boring operations. With one innovation after another, it has continually reinforced its reputation as a world leader in digital boring tools.
“Allied Machine is a perfect fit with Wohlhaupter,” says Bill Stokey, president/CEO of Allied Machine & Engineering. “Both are family-owned
companies, whose foundations are built upon excellent quality, flexibility, and ability to customise products and services, as well as a preference for building strong partnerships with our customers. These commonalities will produce a seamless integration of our philosophies and services.”
“By acquiring Wohlhaupter, Allied has added the world’s widest range of precision boring tools to our already vast array of available products,” adds Eric Tope, vice president of marketing & sales. “Equally important is the fact that Allied now has a manufacturing presence in Europe and an additional 30 field sales engineers throughout the USA, Germany and India.”
The integration of Wohlhaupter will be seamless and Allied has plans to make additional investments, wherever needed, that will see Wohlhaupter grow even stronger than it is today.
