With the takeover of the GF Machining Solutions Division of George Fischer AG by the United Grinding Group, one of the largest machine tool manufacturers in the world has emerged – with total sales of over USD 1.5 billion and around 5,000 employees at over 50 global locations. The company was renamed United Machining Solutions and retains its headquarters in Bern, Switzerland.
Stephan Nell, CEO of the new group and the United Grinding Group, reveals: “There has been a long-standing desire to merge the two companies.
