Arch Cutting Tools Corp. (Arch), a manufacturer of high-performance custom tooling, is acquiring Custom Carbide Cutter Inc. (CCCI), a provider of cutting tools to manufacturers and distributors located in Cincinnati.
"I am proud to announce the addition of Custom Carbide Cutter to the Arch Cutting Tools team,” says Jeff Cederstrom, Arch Cutting Tools divisional president. "Custom Carbide's experience in specialty carbide micro tools and high-performance burs sets them apart in the industry and compliments the Arch offering.”
Arch is based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and serves the medical, aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, agriculture and general industrial markets. As a mid-sized, full service cutting tool manufacturer, Arch has facilities across the United States, and the company says it is dedicated to engineering high-performance standard and custom tooling.
“We are excited to offer these additional domestic manufacturing capabilities to the growing Arch customer base, especially the micro tool application expertise, as this is a rapidly expanding segment of the industry. Steve and Dena Long have assembled a talented team, and we look forward to building on Custom Carbide’s longstanding customer relationships with additional products and services,” Cederstrom adds.
CCCI was established in 1983 to provide cutting tools for local companies in the Cincinnati area but has since grown to service customers around the world. It specializes in serving the automotive and aerospace industries along with shipyards and medical facilities.
“The acquisition by Arch Cutting Tools will help us keep pace with this ever-changing industry,” says Steve Long, CCCI president. “It will give us access to additional support and guidance for our highly-skilled employees and help us continue developing our manufacturing processes.”
