Big Kaiser Celebrates 25 Years

Big Kaiser Precision Tooling is celebrating 25 years of North American operations. Incorporated under the name Kaiser Precision Tooling (KPT), the subsidiary of Switzerland-based Heinz Kaiser AG opened the doors of its Elk Grove Village, Illinois, location on August 1, 1990. In 2003, KPT formed an alliance with Big Daishowa Seiki, a Japanese manufacturer of toolholders, cutting tools and measuring accessories. As a result of the alliance, KPT changed its name to Big Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. The company moved to a new 33,000-square-foot facility in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, in 2009. Big Kaiser currently supplies high-precision tooling systems and solutions under brands including Big Daishowa, Kaiser, Speroni, Unilock and Sphinx.
