novations and product expansions have followed, including the addi- tion of tool holders in 1928, special workpiece clamping in 1950, and in 1953, the development of the patented steep spiral-fluted tap, a tool that to this day features the same geometry for machining threads in blind holes throughout the industry. In 1956, Mr. Helmut Glimpel, son of the founder and current owner, joined the company, and in 1958 Emuge acquired Franken, a manufacturer of milling tools, and changed its name to Emuge-Franken.
Emuge Corp., which today has a newly expanded 50,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility in West Boylston, MA with a technology and training center, tool reconditioning and manufacturing, including end mills for advanced aerospace machining applications.
