The company
As a carbide pioneer, the Boehlerit Group
is one of the world’s leading manufacturers
of wear protection solutions and cutting
tools for machining metal and composite
materials. With cutting materials, semi-fin-
ished products, precision tools and tool
systems for milling, turning, grooving and
forming, the family-owned company has
been ensuring process reliability and effi-
ciency worldwide since 1932. Around 800
employees offer customers comprehensive
expertise in all aspects of metallurgy in
order to realise process-optimised produc-
tion technologies, the highest quality and a
head start in tool productivity. With three
production sites in Europe and Asia, inter-
national subsidiaries and a network of sales
partners, the carbide and tool specialist has
a global presence. Together with its two
legally independent sister companies Leitz
and Bilz, the Boehlerit Group forms the
globally active Brucklacher Group, in which
over 4,000 employees generate an annual
turnover of around 450 million euros.

standards in environmental protection and
occupational safety and are committed to a
future that conserves resources. We focus
on the development and construction of
durable and recyclable quality products,
environmentally friendly manufacturing
processes and minimising the environmen-
tal impact of our products.
