Press release, Aug. 12, 2005
Technologies completes portfolio optimization

Best-owner found for ThyssenKrupp MetalCutting

The sale of the MetalCutting business unit completes the portfolio optimization of
the Technologies segment. In the future, Technologies will concentrate on the business
units with growth potential – Plant Technology, Marine Systems and Mechanical Engineering.

I guess Kearney and Trecker would be included since they're owned by
Giddings. Not that they make anything anymore.

China is buying up those great old hydraulic knee mills to ship off to China.
Very best hor/vert mills for all around strength and rigidity which I have used,
the ones I worked on were probably built back in WW2 too.

This is the same Krupp that ran all the concentration camp factories
using Jew and Polish slave labor during the 30s and early 40s?

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner

Hey John,

I see where they sold the heat-treat plant too, in Windsor, Ontario.
Was called Thyssen Marathon for many years, but now it answers "Swiss
Steel International".
