ROWLEY, MA — Harvey Tool Company, a provider of highly specialized hard-to-find micro cutting tools, has acquired Helical Solutions of Gorham, Maine, a manufacturer of high performance custom and standard end mills.
"We are very excited about the future of these two brands and are committed to growing manufacturing in Maine," said Pete Jenkins CEO of Harvey Tool.

Helical Solutions’ dedication to quality products, commitment to distribution, and strong service ethic are well known in the industry and very consistent with the Harvey Tool way of doing business. The addition of the Helical Brand, and its large diameter high performance focus, represents a strong compliment for the Harvey Tool Brand and its miniature end mill and specialty profile product focus."

"We’re all experiencing it, the industry continues to evolve and the pace of change is accelerating," said Jenkins. "Size and scale matters in this industry, but that said, we plan on maintaining and growing both the Helical and the Harvey Tool brands indefinitely."
