Wohlhaupter GmbH, part of Allied Machine & Engineering, will be exhibiting at EMO Hannover 2025, from 22 to 26 September, at Hall 4, Stand A04. With over ninety years of history, Wohlhaupter is bringing its latest innovations in holemaking, finish boring, and modular tooling to one of the world’s premier trade fairs for production technology.
Founded in 1929 by Emil Wohlhaupter, what started as a small mechanical workshop repairing cutting, punching, and stamping tools has evolved into a global leader in modular tool systems and hole machining solutions.
Over the years, the company expanded under its second generation, and since 2016, led by Frank M Wohlhaupter as Managing Partner (in partnership with the majority shareholder Allied Machine & Engineering), Wohlhaupter has further refined its exclusive focus on producing precision boring, finishing, and holemaking tools for metal-cutting industries around the world.
One highlight will be Wohlhaupter’s 3ETech+ technology, a precision boring system with an external digital readout module enabling micron-accurate adjustments. This kind of digital adjustment serves shop-floor productivity and repeatability for bore machining tasks from 0.4mm up to 3.255mm in diameter.
At EMO 2025, Wohlhaupter will present a comprehensive range of advanced machining solutions, covering the entire spectrum of holemaking and precision tooling. Visitors can explore the company’s wide portfolio of standard boring tools, boring heads, and special boring bars, drilling systems, step drill chamfer, and deep hole drilling solutions. The exhibit will also highlight Wohlhaupter’s expertise in thread machining with thread milling cutters and thread cutting chucks, as well as reamers, and specialised smoothing and roller burnishing tools.
Completing the line-up is a full range of standard tool holders, standard and special inserts for drilling and boring including CBN and PCD cutting inserts, boring heads, and other specialised tool heads demonstrating Wohlhaupter’s strength in delivering complete, modular solutions tailored to modern machining challenges.
Strategic Positioning & Global Reach
Wohlhaupter and Allied Machine & Engineering have carved a unique niche by focusing solely on holemaking and bore finishing. This allows them to specialise deeply in analog and digital finish facing and boring heads, grooving heads, modular tool systems, clamping devices, and customised solutions. Visitors can expect application experts on hand to discuss customised tooling challenges and solutions.
“EMO has always been a platform for us to display our past achievements in precision and modular systems, while engaging directly with customers to understand the challenges of tomorrow,” said Frank M Wohlhaupter, Managing Partner of Wohlhaupter GmbH. “At this year’s edition, our aim is to deliver tools and technologies that reduce cycle times, improve accuracy, and offer the adaptability demanded by modern manufacturing.”
EMO Hannover 2025 is celebrating its 50th year. For Wohlhaupter, this milestone is an opportunity to reflect on long-term partnerships, global trends in digitization, and the increasing demand for holemaking solutions that deliver both precision and efficiency. As global manufacturing shifts toward automation, AI, and more complex materials, Wohlhaupter sees growing demand for its high-precision, modular, and digitally-adjusted tool systems.
Attendees are invited to visit Wohlhaupter at Hall 4, Stand A04 to see live demos, learn about custom solutions, and interact with the company’s engineering team.
