The demands placed on cutting tools are changing rapidly: rising productivity targets, new materials, increasing cost pressures and the desire for holistic solutions are shaping the market. In this environment, Ingersoll Werkzeuge GmbH is consistently positioning itself as a strategic full-line supplier that thinks far beyond the mere supply of tools.
With its headquarters in Haiger and sites such as Vaihingen, Ingersoll combines industrial vertical integration with application-oriented development. A key factor for the future is the in-house PCD production – an area of expertise that few manufacturers now cover themselves and which enables Ingersoll to achieve a high degree of independence, speed and flexibility in project work. Customers receive comprehensive support for both complex project applications and standard tools.
Jörg Lettermann has been at the helm of the company as Managing Director since 2025. In this interview, he discusses Ingersoll’s strategic direction, the importance of vertical integration, and how the company is positioning itself to meet the technological and economic challenges of the coming years.
