Kemmer Praezision Partners with Insulectro In this interview, Nolan Johnson and Gregor Dutkiewicz discuss Kemmer Praezision, their new working partnership with Insulectro, and some of the recent market challenges in mechanical drill bit technology.
Nolan Johnson: Gregor, as the director of Kemmer Praezision, for those readers who maybe aren’t familiar, start us off by telling us about the company. Gregor Dutkiewicz: Kemmer Praezision was established in 1954 in Germany. Actually, that was a partnership between the founder of Kemmer Praezision, Paul Kemmer, and IBM Germany. At that time, IBM started manufacturing printed circuit boards in Germany, but all the tools came from the U.S. IBM was looking for a local supplier, and this is how the cooperation took place. IBM contacted Kemmer, and Kemmer started an order, on behalf of IBM manufacturing, of drills and routers for manufacturing of printed circuit boards. We were the first manufacturer of this kind of tools in Europe.
