KPT/Kaiser Precision Tooling, Inc.

KPT/Kaiser Precision Tooling, Inc., based in Elk Grove Village, IL, was established in 1990 as the U.S. subsidiary of Heinz Kaiser, Ltd., Rumlang, Switzerland, a worldwide developer and manufacturer of precision boring tools of unmatched quality for thousands of applications in metalworking. Two thirds of all KPT/Kaiser components are made in the U.S. Kaiser's most distinctive features are the unsurpassed ruggedness of the roughing heads, combined with the high repeatable precision of the finishing heads and the patented design of the KA/KAB connection.
