1986

First steps

Welcome to 1986, the year in which Manfred and Anna Kainz took over the tool trade section of the company Hausensteiner GmbH in Graz including the representation for Plansee TIZIT Werkzeuge. The portfolio consists of the sales of HSS tools and indexable inserts. Specialized technical consultations are also carried out.

1987

Production of special tools

Together with Michael HAUSENSTEINER and Josef PANZENBÖCK, DI Weber GmbH is founded for the production of special tools

1989

General agencies

As a result, DI Weber GmbH obtains general representation for numerous well-known tool manufacturers: HAM, STRASMANN, TOSHIBA TUNGALOY, BECKER DIAMAND, POLYTOOL and BOSS

AS 400 is used as the merchandise management system.

New production site

With the purchase of a water recycling plant in Voitsberg, the course for a grinding center is set.

1996

Company founded in Hungary

Together with HAUSENSTEINER GMBH, HARTMETALLWERKZEUGFABRIK Andreas Maier GmbH, MAPAL Präzisionswerkzeuge Kress KG and Dr. med. Peter Látrányi, HTCM (Hungarian Tool Consulting & Management Ltd.) is founded.  

 

First tool management Level 5 (cost per part - billing model for tools) is implemented in Szengotthárd in Hungary.

 

It is no longer the drill that is sold, but the drilling.

 

The qualification of the employees is carried out partly via Learnlink. 

1997

Founding of the TCM brand

The DI Weber GmbH and the Hausensteiner GmbH are merged and the newly founded brand TCM GmbH (TOOL CONSULTING & MANAGEMENT) is created.

On the way up

The founding of TCM International Tool Consulting & Management GmbH follows with headquarters in Graz and offices in Koblenz and Györ / Hungary, as well as TCM Polska in Polkowice.

2003

The expansion continues

Within less than a year, the Technology and Development Center, founded in 2003 as a cooperation between the municipalities of Stainz, Georgsberg and St. Stefan with TCM and Peters GmbH, becomes the new headquarters of TCM.

A KPI model (Key Performance Indicator) is developed, with 1: 1 billing of tools.  

A TCM in-house training program for CNC grinders is launched.  

 

With the TCM in-house developed software "Praxis", a knowledge database is created. 

2006

A new chapter in the company’s history

With the acquisition of the entire areas of tool management, toolmaking and tool grinding for the Opel site in Bochum in July 2006, TCM opens a new chapter in the company's history. 108 employees of Opel were taken over.

2008

TCM as Solution Provider


In order to be able to offer customers the widest possible range of services, TCM expands even further in these years:  

 

Achterberg GmbH and TCM Systems are integrated into the TCM Group.  

 

- 16 business fields including measuring equipment and fluid management  

 

- Plant construction

 

- With the help of Toolbase (dispensing systems from Achterberg GmbH) the TCM Service Level 3 is created.

2012

The technology-oriented tool manager

The Tool Management analyses are perfected and the business model Tool Management Level 6 (Productivity) is launched.

2014

The change in production takes place - TCM the technology partner

In the years from 2013 to 2017, TCM changes its corporate philosophy and with the new "Strategy2018" the step into the future is taken. "Digitalization, SMART PRODUCTION, INDUSTRY 4.0, E-MOBILITY," are the buzz words of politics. TCM promotes research and development with partners from industry, universities and research institutions worldwide.

 

Internally, TCM recognizes the digitization wave with the implementation of a new ERP system (SAP), a new intranet (Aeneis), the tool management software (WinTool), the tool dispensing software ATMS (Toolbase) and the TCM Cockpit (management evaluations).

 

2015

The management is updated

A modern management system with young executives supports the current and sole managing director. 5 executive managers focus on their Tasks.

Tool Management Kreislauf

2018

Focus on Smart Machining

People + Technology + System + ICT = SMART MACHINING

 

The human being is still the focus of TCM.  

 

The mirroring of the analogue world into the digital world leads from process competence to digital intelligence and ensures the higher competitiveness of the TCM group.  

 

2020

Tool data - the oil of the future!

The basis for successful digitization is 100% tool master data. With the help of the TCM Tooltracer, the master data from various sources is managed uniformly and absolutely flawlessly.

With its help, the performance of all your digitization modules (such as Toolbase and WinTool) can be used to the full.
In this way, we create the prerequisites for functioning, networked production.

Industry 4.0, we are ready!
