Heule Tool Celebrates Milestone

Heule Tool Corporation (HTC; Loveland, OH) recently celebrated their 30th anniversary serving manufacturers in North America. The company was established in 1988 by Heule Werkzeug AG (Balgach, Switzerland) and was first located in West Plymouth, MI. Moving to the Cincinnati area in 1993, they continued to increase sales of their automated deburring, chamfering, countersinking, and spotfacing tools in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. They are now widely used by leading high-volume manufacturers for their Swiss-made precision cutting tools.

“Our customers in North America appreciate the high quality tools that the Swiss make,” stated Gary Brown, the company president, speaking at their 30th anniversary open house. Brown, who has been leading them for 29 of the 30 years, thanked Ulf Heule, the chief executive officer of Heule Werkzeug, who was present at the event. He also recognized Ulf’s father, Heinrich, who invented the first automated deburring tool in 1961 and launched the company. “We couldn’t be here without you,” he continued. Ulf also spoke at the event, thanking the employees for their hard work in making the company successful in North America: “Today HTC is an important part of the Heule group, who also supports subsidiaries in Germany, China, and South Korea.”

The company celebrated their anniversary by inviting their local sales agents, distributors, customers, government officials, business partners, friends and family to an open house and pig roast where they toasted their success. Heule and Brown also planted a tree on the grounds of HTC to commemorate 30 years of growth in North America.
