Kennametal Inc.(NYSE: KMT) aspires to be the premier tooling solutions supplier in the world with operational excellence throughout the value chain and best-in-class manufacturing and technology. Kennametal strives to deliver superior shareowner value through top-tier financial performance.

Kennametal is the market leader in North America in metalcutting tools and is second in Europe and worldwide.

Our new product innovations keep us in the lead, which means we can help you stay in the lead over your competition, too. Our new three-step Pro-Point™ tool selection system lets you choose the block/sleeve/conical combination that best fits your mining operation (whether high-horsepower longwall shearer or mid-horsepower continuous miner) to achieve optimum productivity.

 

Our premium-carbide, tri-blade RX3 roof rocket tool drills holes 40% faster than any existing tooling on the market, lasts up to 150% longer than standard styles, even in extremely hard top, and is more efficient with lower thrust pressure than other standard tools. Plus, it's quieter than other roof cutting tools.

 

Our new super-strong K225 block is the ideal choice for extremely high-horsepower machines, while the K175 is best for medium- to high-horsepower operations.
Both attach easily to the tops of drum veins and accept a wide selection of premium Kennametal cutting tools and sleeves. Kennametal offers a complete line of Easy Pull tools with angled body notches for quick, easy, and accurate tool changeouts, which means less downtime and more productivity for you!

We manufacture a wide range of tooling systems for surface drilling and crusher/feeder breaker applications. Our Kenclaw® tool drills blast holes and water wells with twice the speed of standard cutting tools! Kenclaw is ideally suited for soft to medium formations where the drill may encounter alternating layers of soft clay or sand rock and hard shale and possibly stall. It's available in a wide selection of sizes and with numerous options.

Innovation, perseverance, and close attention to customer needs have characterized Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) since its founding. In 1938, after years of research, metallurgist Philip M. McKenna created a tungsten-titanium carbide alloy for cutting tools
that provided a productivity breakthrough in the machining of steel.

"Kennametal" cut faster and lasted longer, and thereby facilitated metalworking in products from automobiles to airliners to machinery. With his invention, Philip started the McKenna Metals Company in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Later renamed Kennametal, the corporation has become a world leader in the metalworking industry and remains headquartered in Latrobe.
