1942: The company began as a production unit for cemented carbide tools in Sandviken, Sweden, when Wilhelm Haglund is assigned the job as manager of the unit.[3] However, in 1951, new innovations and manufacturing methods lead to the establishment of a more industrialized unit inGimo, Sweden.
1957: Scrapers become the first product with mechanically clamped “indexable inserts” or “throw-away inserts”. The birth of the T-Max holder and the use of indexable inserts.[4][5]
1969: Heat-resistant Gamma Coating, or GC, is introduced as a grade.[6]
1972: The Multi-Service marketing campaign is created, and the yellow coat becomes an important symbol. Tool-pool, machine-adapted tool recommendations and mini-catalogs are made available.[7]
