Kennametal Extrude Hone has completed its relocation to Holzguenz, Germany, after a year of planning and construction. The inauguration of the facility took place on May 6, 2014.

This relocation is consistent with the company's strategy to increase efficiency and better serve its customers.

"The new site combines all functions of the previous locations, including machine technology for the areas of AFM (Abrasive Flow Machining), ECM (Electro Chemical Machining), PECM (Precise Electro Chemical Machining) and TEM (Thermal Energy Method - Thermal deburring), sales, finance and administration," says Urs Hirsiger, MD of Kennametal Extrude Hone Global, a subsidiary of Kennametal.
