The acquisition of Monster Tool Company adds significant depth to both the GWS general purpose and high-performance standard product portfolio. Their robust offering of end mills, drills, burrs and reamers expand upon or fill in product gaps for GWS. Their grinding expertise, geography, and exceptional service reputation will further elevate the GWS value proposition by enhancing our product and service capability, particularly in the western United States.

The acquisition of Indexable strengthens the GWS offering with added capacity and capabilities in the insert tooling segment, as well as the complete vertical integration of ceramic blank production from powder. Their robust offering of ceramic inserts, including silicon nitride, white ceramic and whiskered ceramic are produced using patented microwave sintering technology. This technology will bolster GWS insert capability while providing supply chain cost-savings that will make our ceramic portfolio even more value-added to its customers.
