KOMET of America, Inc. (Schaumburg, IL) and Grinding Technology LLC (Houston, TX) are pleased to announce the official start of their KOMET SERVICE® Partnership. Grinding Technology is now authorized to regrind and refurbish KOMET tools, as well as to manufacture their custom solid carbide tools.
On November 6 the two companies marked the official start of their partnership with a ceremony, cocktails, and open house, with over 50 people in attendance. Guests included KOMET of America representatives and Grinding Technology employees’ families, as well as customers, distributors, and business partners of both companies.
After the official ceremony, whereby Grinding Technology was awarded an official plaque and tool refurbishment handbook, attendees were treated to food and refreshments, as well as tours of the shop and live demonstrations.
Bill Perego, the vice president of Grinding Technology, is clearly excited for the new association, saying, “Though we have just begun our partnership together, we are already seeing the benefits. We have already had increased market exposure through KOMET, as well as joint meetings with distributors in the Houston metro area. We are positive that this will help grow our business.”
“Small companies choose to partner with us because we have the best tools on the market,” says Tom Whennen, the manager of KOMET SERVICE in North America. “Likewise, we choose to partner with only the best tooling and regrinding shops, and Grinding Technology certainly fits that pattern. We are certain that they will live up to customers’ expectations as well as our high standards of quality.” Opening a Partner in Houston signifies the continued momentum and growth of the company’s network.
This partnership will benefit customers of both companies throughout the southeastern United States and beyond. Customers can expect the following:
- Quick turnaround and service for their tooling needs.
- Reliable and consistent refurbishment of tools.
- Manufacture of simple custom carbide tooling to KOMET quality standards.
- Local pickup, delivery, and expedite services.
