About Kemmer Präzision
Kemmer Präzision GmbH, based in Schwäbisch Gmünd, is a provider specializing in the manufacture of high-precision carbide tools. The portfolio covers the entire spectrum of drills, end mills, countersinks, burrs and special tools made to customer requirements, including tools for printed circuit board machining, for metal cutting as well as rotary instruments for nail and foot care. The tools are manufactured from tested tungsten carbide, in part nano fine-grain carbide and PCD, on state-of-the-art machines; diameters range from 0.03 mm to 40 mm with tolerances down to ±0.001 mm. Kemmer Präzision is a brand of the CTC Group, which produces over 20 million tools per year and, with more than 250 High-Precision Swiss machines, supplies markets including India, the USA, China, Japan, the Middle East, the APAC region and the European Union. Development and sales are located at the German site; in addition, the company offers tool management with Drill Dispenser systems, direct customer support and application support on technical questions.
