In order to secure market leadership and extend the quality of the OPAL/SIGMA OPAL series, the Sigma Pool partners have decided to merge all activities in the field of cylindrical gear grinding under the auspices of Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH in Kempten, Germany.

For many years Liebherr cylindrical gear grinding machines have been very successful in the industry, especially for large-series production, and Klingelnberg–formerly Oerlikon–has covered the market for small- and middle-series production. The new concentration underlines the core competence of Liebherr for cylindrical gears and merges all resources of this strategic alliance for even more-superior products and, therefore, a larger presence in the market. The Sigma Pool is not only securing its own position, but it also offers to all customers an enhanced partnership for development, production, and solutions for their ever-increasing quality demands.

Effective immediately research and development, production, and sales for the OPAL/SIGMAOPAL series will be the responsibility of Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH. This means its customers will have only one contact/partner for cylindrical gear grinding over the whole production range. Existing contracts will naturally be fulfilled by the respective partners.

Service in the future will be provided via a "Know-How" program in order to secure the most effective customer support possible. This transfer will be competed at the end of 2006, and until that time the Klingelnberg Service Organization will continue to offer unrestricted availability to its customers.
