The Haimer Group has announced that it has become a 25 per cent shareholder in WinTool AG and agreed on a strategic partnership with the TCM Group, which grants Haimer global distribution rights to WinTool and Toolbase.
Prior to the decision to acquire this stake in the company, WinTool and Toolbase were introduced in the company's own production facilities and tested in continuous use.
In the future, TCM will rely on Haimer as a strategic supplier in the field of tool holders, shrinking, balancing, and presetting machines in the core business of tool management.
"In 2023, we worked together very intensively and were able to achieve significant success in a very short period of time," said Markus Temmel, CEO, TCM. "The product portfolios of Haimer and the TCM Group complement each other seamlessly and our shared understanding of our customers' requirements will lead to even more powerful overall solutions. Furthermore, we are convinced that the Haimer product range will enrich our range of services in the tool management business field and strengthen our market position and our claim to be the market leader for tool management services. All TCM tool management customers worldwide will benefit from this in the future. We look forward to consolidating this strategic partnership and welcome Haimer as a shareholder at WinTool."
"The strategic partnership with TCM and the investment in WinTool fit perfectly with our strategy: We want to offer our customers worldwide a coherent system concept with regard to digitization and automation of tool room management," said Andreas Haimer, president, Haimer Group. "This requires easy-to-implement products and intuitive software solutions that enable users to increase productivity on the shopfloor. With our new WinTool and Toolbase products, we are able to offer our customers the most complete solution on the market. In a record time of just four months, we introduced the systems in our own large production facility with over 200 CNC machines."
As a software solution for tool and data management, WinTool enables the collection and use of tool, master, and operating equipment data as well as CNC machine programs and processes. Thanks to its modular structure, users can "start small" with WinTool. WinTool provides an open database that can be used to import existing data from other data software systems. 2D and 3D data provided online by manufacturers can also be easily imported.
