IBC is Bilz Tool Co. USA’s newest preferred supplier

East Granby, Connecticut – IBC officials are pleased to announce the addition of Bilz Tool Co. USA, as the organization’s newest Preferred Supplier. Bilz tool clamping systems are used worldwide on a broad variety of machines and in a multitude of applications. The company prides itself in its continual process of development – a commitment that leads to ongoing improvement of existing product lines plus innovative new products.

With U.S. headquarters in Lombard, Illinois, and subsidiaries in England, Italy, France, and India, Bilz manufactures clamping tools in the fields of tapping and high-performance tools. A trusted partner in the machine tool industry for more than 90 years, the firm has 430 employees in Asia and Europe who develop and produce high-quality, modern solutions for tool clamping applications in 34 different countries.

In addition to its high manufacturing standards, Bilz emphasizes application support and customer service. For instance, tools are often customized to suit individual customer requirements. In June, the company introduced a new Diebold product called CentroGrip, which combines cutting tool run-out (TIR) with maximum flexibility. An ultra-high precision collet system, CentroGrip provides maximum tool accuracy with excellent collet interchangeability.

Andrea Marquez, controller, said Bilz recently launched a new branding campaign with the tagline, “Your Connection to Performance.” As part of that overall effort, the company aligned itself with IBC in order to better service the members it was already working with while also reaching out to new ones.

“We’ve overhauled our marketing and branding while staying focused on our top competitive advantages, which are creating highly-accurate products that feature extended tool life,” said Marquez. “We see our new alliance with IBC as the perfect adjunct to our overall marketing efforts.”

Nancy Schwind, IBC’s Director of Business Development, said that Bilz and Diebold are names synonymous with accuracy in tool clamping systems. “These German-Made ultraprecision products provide a variety of tool holding solutions,” said Schwind, “for various CNC machining issues that our members confront on a daily basis.”
