HISTORY 0 Tradition in precision. “Local family business gains global position as a market leader.” In 1941 Emil Arnold establishes “Lehrenbau” in Esslingen am Neckar. Initially manufacturing mainly meas- urement jigs and gauges. Because he always gave his customers exactly what they specified he established himself through the high quality of his products. Together with his son Karl-Heinz Arnold they put their heart and soul into the company and were always open to new developments. He had a vision to be represented with his cutting tools in all industries all over the world. In 1962 his son forms the company Karl-Heinz Arnold GmbH which under the name ARNO-Werkzeuge began focussing on sales of carbide tools. Both companies were constantly looking for market opportunities with the customers in mind. In 1987 Klaus-Michael Arnold joined the company and became Managing Director in 1992. In 2002 Josef Storf became joint Managing Director. In the spirit of the company founder, the product portfolio is ex- panding and the search for new sales channels are constantly being explored. In 2004 ARNO (UK) Ltd becomes the first overseas sister company, followed by sister companies in Italy, Russia and the USA. Due to the constant developments of the product range and the high level of service provided, today ARNO-Werkzeuge is globally renowned for its high quality cutting tools. 2012 The AKB drill is introduced on the AMB exhibition as well as additional insert geometries for the Shark-Drill², all of which opening new op- portunities for the company. 2002 2010 Expansion of grinding dept.
