CERATIZIT GROUP: 'Aiming high'

The CERATIZIT Group (http://www.ceratizit.com/) is strengthening its market position amongst the big international carbide and tooling specialists through both targeted acquisitions and the company's in-house research and development department.

CERATIZIT is one of the fastest growing companies in the tooling sector, with more than 5,800 employees worldwide.

Concentrating on our customers and projects we are a company that has very conservative values, but at the same time is open for new ideas and concepts. We see close collaboration between management and the employees as the right way forward for the CERATIZIT Group.

CERATIZT GROUP: from a one-brand strategy to a brand architecture

"In the past few years we have completed a strategic change from a one-brand strategy to a brand architecture which, under the umbrella brand name CERATIZIT Group, unites four top-class brands," explains Thierry Wolter, member of the CERATIZIT board. "The four top-class brands enable us to focus on specific target groups: Hard Material Solutions by CERATIZIT, which is the classic wear parts sector; Toolmaker Solutions by CERATIZIT, which produces pre-products and semi-finished products such as carbide rods; Tool Solutions by CERATIZIT, through which we supply private label tools to the market; and Cutting Solutions by CERATIZIT, where we develop, produce and provide assistance for cutting tool solutions and products."

The CERATIZIT Group is evolving to become a global player as a full-range supplier offering the right products for a wide field of applications and supporting the customer with considerable know-how and expertise.

"It is our goal to grow faster than the market. We have managed to do so in recent years and want to keep to it that way," says Thierry Wolter.
