On the 1st of April 2018 Mikron Tool looked back on its 20 years success story. And celebrated with all its employees on the 28th of the same month. Because it’s them which made success possible, day by day with constant top-level commitment.
On May 31, 12 “crazy” Mikron Tool employees on their bicycles start in Rottweil to arrive after 4 days in Agno. The occasion is the 20 years company anniversary. However, more is involved: with the help of Kilometer-Sponsors an amount as high as possible will be collected for Greenhope. Obviously Mikron Tool participates with donations for each cycled Kilometer.
Embedded within the Mikron Group – known above all as builder of Transfer- and Automation systems – Mikron Tool, has created for itself, since its inception 20 years ago, a solid position in the world of precision cutting tools. Today the cutting tool manufacturer in Ticino (southern Switzerland) is one of the leaders producing small solid carbide tools for difficult to machine materials.
A bit more than one year after moving to the Swiss Center Shanghai, Mikron Tool takes additional steps to increase the market presence in China. This requires an inventory composed of all standard products, a sales network with competent partners and organizing technical seminars.
The CrazyMill Cool products have been developed for milling in small dimensions with highest performance and quality. Now a new “family member” has been added: a four teeth Finishing Milling Cutter with shank integrated cooling, available from stock in the diameter range of 1 to 8 mm and for milling depths of up to 5 x d. This milling cutter is suitable for machining all materials up to a hardness of 54 HRC. Nevertheless, this new tool has been developed focusing on stainless steels, titanium, heat resistant alloys based on nickel and chrome-cobalt-alloys.
Mikron Tool came into existence in 1998 out of the former Tools department of the Rotary Transfer Machines manufacturer Mikron SA Agno as a result of the many decades of experience in the development and manufacturing of various types of drill bits for these machines. Starting as independent company with 25 employees in 1998, we are now a globally active tool supplier with main office in Switzerland (Agno Ticino), a branch office with sales and manufacturing in Germany (Rottweil) as well as sales branches in USA and China. 200 employees are working daily to satisfy the needs of the customers; a worldwide sales network with partner companies ensures the customer proximity everywhere.
