Mikron inks a fresh licensing pact with United Grinding
In a recent announcement, United Machining Solutions (UMS) has taken over the management of the milling machines business previously operated by the GF Machining Solutions Division. The new UMS group company has acquired the rights to operate the meta business suite under the Mikron Mill brand.
The licensing agreement, originally concluded in 2000 between the current entity and UMS, has been adjusted to reflect the new ownership structure. The agreement primarily involves the use of the Mikron Mill brand for the milling machines business.
The license rights for the Mikron Mill brand were originally acquired by Georg Fischer Group (GF) in 2000, and in 2025, the license was transferred and adapted to UMS after UMS took over GF's maintenance solutions division. Mikron continues to license the brand to UMS for milling machine business under this renewed agreement, which reflects the updated corporate structure but maintains no ownership or structural ties between Mikron and UMS.
The announcement indicates that UMS has continued its commitment to the licensing agreement. The GF Machining Solutions Division is no longer involved in the operation of the milling machines business.
The new UMS group company will operate the milling machines business under the former GF Machining Solutions Division. The announcement does not mention any changes to the business relationship between the current entity and UMS beyond the license agreement.
The milling machines business was previously managed by the GF Machining Solutions Division, but is now managed by the new UMS group company. The licensing agreement, despite the change in ownership, remains in effect for the milling machines business.
The announcement does not provide details about any changes to the terms of the licensing agreement beyond reflecting the new ownership structure. It also does not provide any financial details regarding the adjustment of the licensing agreement. The reasons for the adjustment of the licensing agreement to the new ownership structure are also not disclosed in the announcement.
In summary, UMS has taken over the management of the milling machines business from the GF Machining Solutions Division, and will operate the business under the Mikron Mill brand under a renewed licensing agreement. The announcement does not specify any changes to the operation of the milling machines business under the new UMS group company.
