Following the acquisition of Georg Fischer Group’s “Machining Solutions Division” by United Grinding Group—now operating as United Machining Solutions (UMS)—the Swiss Mikron Group (SIX: MIKN) and UMS have signed a new licensing agreement. The agreement covers the continued use of the Mikron Mill trademark, which Mikron has licensed to UMS’s new subsidiary for activities in the milling machine business formerly run by GF Machining Solutions.
The agreement maintains the long-standing licensing framework first established with GF in 2000, updated to reflect UMS’s new ownership of the division. It does not involve any structural or ownership links between Mikron and UMS. Mikron welcomes UMS’s commitment to carrying forward the strong reputation of the Mikron Mill brand as a benchmark of Swiss industrial expertise.
Mikron Group develops, manufactures, and markets high-precision, efficient, and flexible automation solutions, machining systems, and cutting tools. With more than a century of experience and a foundation in Swiss innovation, Mikron is a trusted partner to companies in pharmaceuticals, medical technology, consumer goods, automotive, and general engineering.
The Group operates through two business segments—Mikron Automation and Mikron Machining Solutions—both headquartered in Switzerland (Boudry and Agno). Additional production sites are located in the USA, Germany, Singapore, China, Lithuania, and Italy. Mikron Holding AG shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (MIKN). The Group employs approximately 1,560 people worldwide.
