Kennametal—as a company—was founded on a technology innovation in 1938, and we have been continually driven by innovation.
In 2002, we acquired a company named WIDIA—which was founded even earlier, in 1925. In fact, with our acquisition of Greenfield Tap & Die, we have brands established in 1848.
We first opened our doors in Latrobe, Pennsylvania—our world headquarters is still located there. But today, Kennametal is a global company generating more than 50% of our sales from outside of North America.
We have leveraged our rich technology heritage to help drive the expansion of our business across borders and around the globe.
Our company is built on strong fundamentals and entrepreneurial thinking.
