Emuge-Franken USA, a leading manufacturer of high-performance taps, thread mills, drills, end mills, clamping devices and other rotary tools, has announced the appointment of Mr. Mike Patterson as National Sales Manager for the U.S. and Canada. Mr. Patterson brings to Emuge extensive industry knowledge and management experience.

Emuge-Franken USA is celebrating its 40th Anniversary. The company officially entered the U.S. marketplace with a handful of employees under the name Emuge in 1984 in a Northborough, MA sales and warehousing facility. The Emuge brand was aggressively marketed and demand for products grew rapidly. Today 40 years later, Emuge-Franken is recognized as a leading brand in cutting tool innovation, quality and performance throughout a wide range of industries and products across North America, with over 80 employees in the United States and Canada.

Emuge–Franken USA offers gear manufacturers a single source for a full range of Skiving Tool Solutions including wheels for internal and external gears as bell-type or shank tool variants in the module sizes m 0.4 to m 5, as well as tool and workpiece clamping solutions. 

A range of gear manufacturing applications such as planetary carriers and gear wheels with strict tolerances demand comprehensive, reliable clamping solutions. Whether the objective is to reduce vibrations or ensure concentricity of only a few microns, the clamping must meet challenging requirements.
