Miller GmbH Präzisionswerkzeuge

What Miller GmbH Präzisionswerkzeuge does

Miller GmbH Präzisionswerkzeuge is identified in the firmographic record as a 24-employee German precision-tooling firm headquartered in Altenstadt, Iller. The aggregated supporting data set, however, is dominated by operational evidence pertaining to a substantially larger, German-headquartered precision cutting tools manufacturer — MAPAL Dr. Kress SE & Co. KG, founded 1951 and organized as an SE & Co. KG — and this material should be treated as a likely data-aggregation artifact rather than a confirmed description of the 24-employee subject entity.

On the substantive evidence available, the operations described span a platform of precision cutting tools (reaming, fine boring, drilling, boring, countersinking, milling, turning, clamping, actuating, and setting/measuring/dispensing tools) plus a services stack covering engineering, tool management, training, logistics, and turnkey manufacturing solutions. Proprietary product families include the UNIQ Chuck Series (with DirectCool variant), OptiMill-Uni-HPC and OptiMill-HPC-Pocket, NeoMill-16-Finish and NeoMill-Alu-Rough, UNISET-V basic plus, HPR400-System, and the second-generation MEGA-DeepDrill-Alu. Manufacturing is conducted at Aalen (HQ, Germany), Port Huron, MI, and Fountain Inn, SC, with enterprise field-sales distribution across Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific.

Commercial focus is concentrated in automotive (combustion engines, chassis/brakes, driveline, electrified mobility) as a primary vertical, with fluid power, aerospace & composites, and die & mould as additional served segments. Revenue is generated through one-time precision tool sales, recurring tool-management and engineering services, and manufacturing-as-a-service for solid carbide and PCD tools. Pricing is quotation-based and not publicly disclosed. The 1 May 2026 reorganization consolidated German entities into MAPAL Dr. Kress SE & Co. KG to standardize processes and clarify responsibility lines.
