The Whittemore Company (Addison, IL) announced that they have officially added the cutting tool brands of Precision Twist Drill, Dormer, Pramet, and Union Butterfield to their broad portfolio of products they represent. These brands are manufactured by Dormer Pramet (Elgin, IL), which has a history in America dating back to their founding in 1952 as Precision Twist Drill in suburban Chicago. While the Precision Twist Drill brand has developed a focus on HSS drills, the company has added other brands to complete their manufacturing portfolio, including Union Butterfield for HSS taps, Dormer for high-performance drills and Pramet for a complete indexable line. Today, they are a one-stop manufacturer for round and indexable cutting tools for milling, drilling, hole-making and turning.
“We are very pleased to welcome Whittemore to our team,” said Russ Reinhart, the national sales manager for Dormer Pramet. “We have a passion for cutting tools and see great value in partnering with others who have a similar passion. Our team members work hard to grow business and ensure the needs of our distributors and end users are met.”
“Their long-standing heritage of exceptional cutting tool brands align with our strategic direction,” noted Dave Zaval, the president of Whittemore. “Together, I am confident that we will provide robust systems to our customers’ metalworking needs. We are excited to enter our next phase of growth with them on our team.”
