The cooperative partnership between the Haimer Group and DMG MORI has been further strengthened. Both companies signed a cooperation agreement which sets the standards for a premium partnership of Haimer products.

Furthermore, on the 1st of January 2017, Haimer acquired the DMG MORI Microset GmbH company, which is now operating under the name Haimer Microset GmbH.

With the acquisition of the DMG MORI's Microset Tool-Presetting Technology, the Haimer Group, a family-run company with nearly 600 employees, complements its existing product portfolio. In addition to high-precision tool holders in all popular interfaces and lengths, the current product portfolio includes a variety of shrinking and balancing machines.

Claudia Haimer, CEO of Haimer, explained, "Since the company location of Haimer Microset GmbH with about 35 employees will remain in Bielefeld, Germany, this will be our second Haimer production site, including our main headquarters in Igenhausen, Augsburg, Germany.

"The Bielefeld facility will be further expanded to become our Northern Germany sales and marketing hub, where we will be able to present the complete process chain that surrounds the machine tool to current and prospective customers. We are looking forward to the long-term development of the new Haimer facility together with the employees in Bielefeld and an intensified partnership with DMG MORI."
