KMT receives its first Nano Grinder order

KMT:s subsidiary Lidköping Machine Tools AB has received its first order for Nano Grinder machines. The order, which consists of six machines, comes from a major US automotive supplier.

“We are very pleased to sell this many machines so shortly after the market introduction of the Nano Grinder. This shows that the concept has been very well received by our customers”, says Johan Westberg, President of Lidköping Machine Tools AB.
