History
In 1991, the BÖHLER Group in Austria and the UDDEHOLM Group in Sweden, both with a long history in tool steels, merged to form the BÖHLER-UDDEHOLM Group.
BÖHLER-UDDEHOLM acquired the high-speed steel business of the US based Allegheny Teledyne Group in 1998, and became the world's second largest manufacturer in this segment.
This acquisition included the purchase of the 25-year-old, South Boston, Virginia, Teledyne-Allvac plant, formerly know as the CK Company.
The facility located in South Boston, Virginia, is BÖHLER-UDDEHOLM's first North American production site for High Speed Steels and Powdered Metal High Speed Steel products.
Recently modernized, this production facility, along with our sales office in Bolingbrook, IL has allowed us to achieve impressive growth in North America.
Poised for the future, we will continue to provide top quality Bohler-Uddeholm metals and superior customer service to the North American market.
