Young Companies but Extensive Experience
There is no contradiction: Company owners and staff have long lasting experiences in manufacturing of milling cutter bodies, inserts and arbor systems as well as Solid carbide Tooling. This is the foundation for 2 separate companies to form an alliance. Our tool-range is the base for an extraordinary tooling system.
Franz-Josef Pokolm started already in the 80's with development and production of milling cutters for Mould Making, Die Shops, Machine Building, Model Making and Tool Making. In 1994 he formed his own company POKOLM-Frästechnik GmbH with the goal of offering modern tooling systems to the market. After only 3 years, the company moved to new production- and office-premises for administration, stock, production and an area for seminars and training in Harsewinkel. The company grow quickly and today we employ 50 people on 27000 sq.ft.facility.
Voha was established in 1988 in Lindlar. With only 2 people a production of high performance solid carbide end mills was started. Since 1996, they have started to change production only to those high sophisticated products, which were required by Mould– and Die-Shops, Model- and Tool-Makers. The company grew quick and from 1996 onwards moved to new premises for administration, production and training and is still growing fast. Instead of selling under the VOHA-product name, the Tosec-Werkzeuge GmbH, acting as a retailer for Pokolm- and Voha-products was integrated in the group. Voha and Tosec employ 20 people today on 11000 sq.ft.facility.
