Grinding machine builders, Blohm and Jung, combine

The German builders of CNC surface grinding machines, Blohm and Jung, have merged to form Blohm Jung in order to improve market opportunities.

Koerber Schleifring reported that two German builders of CNC surface grinding machines, Blohm Maschinenbau and K Jung, have merged.

Blohm builds production machines and systems.

Jung builds surface customised grinding systems.

The two specialists in the field of surface and profile grinding believe that together, they have better market opportunities and very good prospects for the future.

The brands and their technological characteristics, as well as the companies' respective factories in Hamburg (Blohm) and Goeppingen (Jung), are being maintained and no job losses are planned.

The merger of Blohm and Jung represents a strategic development of the Sschleifring (Grinding circle or club - Ed) companies in the field of surface and profile grinding.

The two companies' practical expertise will be combined by means of technology transfer and targeted staff training.

In future, the sales team will be in a position to represent the whole spectrum of surface and profile grinding technology.

Schleifring told manufacturingtalk that the merger will result in greater competence, more detailed advice and customer support, and greater area coverage.

A full product portfolio will now be offered worldwide as a 'one-stop shop' in both standard products and systems.

In addition, the cooperation that was already practised in the research and development area in the past will be intensified so that the new company will be able to react more quickly to market requirements and present innovative product solutions in a more targeted way.

An extension of the product programme to new, common machine platforms will help the company to open up new market sectors and offer customers better, more efficient and commercially more interesting solutions as a result of the synergies that are generated.

The management of Blohm Jung will be headed by Krister Bruhn and Uwe Henning, long-standing CEOs of the companies Blohm and Jung respectively.
