HAIMER Group’s Bold Move: Strategic Partnership and Investment in WinTool AG

In a significant development, HAIMER Group, headquartered in Igenhausen, Germany, has acquired a 25 percent stake in WinTool AG, alongside forging a strategic alliance with the TCM Group. This partnership not only grants HAIMER global distribution rights to WinTool and Toolbase but also positions them as a key supplier in tool management solutions, including tool holders, shrinking, balancing, and presetting machines.

Tool management stands as a critical aspect for manufacturing enterprises, and HAIMER, a leading player in tool holding and presetting, has long been at the forefront of offering innovative solutions. At EMO 2023, HAIMER expanded its offerings to include digital solutions such as WinTool software and Toolbase, aligning with their commitment to advancing tool room management.

The collaboration with TCM Group, including WinTool AG and Achterberg GmbH, underscores a shared vision for providing comprehensive tool management solutions. With HAIMER’s investment in WinTool AG and subsequent distribution agreements, both product lines are set to reach a wider global audience.

Markus Temmel, CEO of TCM, expresses enthusiasm for the partnership, emphasizing the synergies between the companies’ product portfolios and their dedication to customer-centric solutions. Andreas Haimer, President of HAIMER Group, echoes this sentiment, highlighting the strategic fit of WinTool with their aim of delivering integrated digitization and automation solutions for tool room management.

HAIMER’s rigorous testing of WinTool and Toolbase in their own production facilities underscores their commitment to quality and practicality. The seamless integration of these systems, along with positive feedback from users, further solidifies their confidence in the partnership with TCM Group.

WinTool’s capabilities span from tool and data management to CNC program handling, offering users a modular approach to streamline tool-related processes. The software’s ease of implementation and open database facilitate smooth integration with existing systems, promising increased efficiency and productivity.

Complementing WinTool, the Toolbase dispensing system offers a smart, software-supported solution for tool management. Its seamless integration with WinTool enhances process reliability and enables efficient stock control, leading to tangible cost savings and enhanced productivity.

Overall, HAIMER’s investment in WinTool AG and the adoption of digital tool management solutions signify a strategic move towards embracing digitization in CNC machining. By offering modular solutions adaptable to diverse production needs, HAIMER aims to empower its customers in optimizing tool management processes for enhanced operational efficiency.
