As in our past acquisitions and reflective of our strategic partnership approach, Tom will continue to lead the company post-transaction and Supermill’s day-to-day operations will not be impacted. However, we believe that Supermill will now be able to take advantage of the infrastructure and national sales reach of the Precision Cutting Technologies platform.”
Tom Hale added, “I founded Supermill in 1990 with the goal of manufacturing the highest quality end mills for the metal working industry and providing our customers with unmatched performance and tool life. After thirty years of growth, I am happy to have found a long-term home for the company and our loyal employees. I look forward to what we will build together with the team at Precision Cutting Technologies in the coming years, staying true to Supermill’s reputation for reliability, innovation, and customer service.”
